Description
The Pedrera Coffee Table was designed in 1955 by Barba Corsini for the loft space at the famous landmark, La Pedrera in Barcelona. The inspiration for the base of the table came from the vaulted ceilings of La Pedrera, which appears again in the Pedrera lamps, thus being characteristics for both in the collection.
Our Stylist Says
I often recommend the Pedrera table for its light, almost floating presence - the slim black wire base keeps sightlines open, while the clear glass top feels fresh in a range of schemes. It works particularly well in modern Scandi or pared-back industrial living rooms, but equally lifts a warmer, more textured space by adding a crisp, graphic element. For styling, keep it simple: a low-profile ceramic bowl or sculptural candle holder plus a neat stack of art books. Avoid overcrowding its elegant silhouette so the sculptural base remains a talking point.

About Heal's
Explore from Heal's. Founded in 1810, Heal's are an iconic brand with a history of innovation, and are synonymous with timeless elegance and exceptional design.
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
