The GUBI Pedrera PD2 Floor Lamp brings a striking, architectural narrative into the home, born from one of the most celebrated modernist buildings in the world. Designed in 1955 by Barba Corsini, this distinctive floor lamp was originally created to illuminate the newly converted attic apartments of Antoni Gaudí’s masterwork, La Pedrera, in Barcelona. It introduces a powerful, sculptural presence to a room, working perfectly if you want a historic lighting icon that feels entirely distinct from standard mid-century Scandinavian tropes.

The structural silhouette pays direct homage to the building’s unforgettable roofline, taking its cylindrical shape and intricate, perforated detailing from the iconic Gaudí chimneys. This clever metal mesh casing allows the light to filter through gently, casting an evocative, glare-free pattern across the room while the base mimics the sweeping vaulted ceilings of the architecture. It is a brilliant exercise in structural simplicity, using a slender metal framework to hold the column aloft without cluttering the floor space around it.

We find it works exceptionally well in minimalist living spaces or dark corners that require a mood-setting ambient glow rather than a harsh, direct downlight. Because we manage our logistics directly from the UK’s largest physical stock of GUBI, you can sidestep the usual import frustrations and lengthy shipping lead times entirely. Our independent showroom expertise and five-star service ensure this historic Catalan piece arrives safely, ready to anchor your interior layout.
