Description
Embodying a milestone in the annals of design, Pedrera Coffee Table was created in 1955 for the famed landmark building La Pedrera in Barcelona. Designer Barba Corsini was inspired by the vaulted ceilings of the structure and introduced the table as a perfect complement to the loft-like interiors. With its slender base—in a choice of matte black or the gleam of brass—and transparent glass tabletop, Pedrera is a light and airy form that's more than relevant still today.

Design is an unceasing continuum, believes this Danish house, now owned by a second generation. Owner and creative director Jacob Gubi Olsen inherited the helm from his parents Gubi and Lisbeth Larson, who founded the business to showcase their postmodern furniture. Under Jacob’s watch, Gubi added a global focus to its roots in Copenhagen, with a cosmopolitan array of furniture, lighting and interior objects.
Alongside 20th Century icons such as Robert Dudley Best and Greta Magnusson-Grossman, the design house has championed a new wave of design studios including GamFratesi, Space Copenhagen and OeO Studio. “I started out with two very strong designs, Bestlite—a Bauhaus collection designed in 1930—and Gubi Chair, designed in 2003. I felt they had something in common,” says Jacobs. “Iconic appearance, functional design, high quality, aesthetic design language and adaptable for many different kinds of interiors. I took these values as a guideline for any new designs added to the collection ever since.”
