Focus on the Designs of Master Miguel Milá


The "CESTA," designed by Miguel Milá in 1964, is inspired by a lantern, composed of an oval shade and a wooden handle and frame. The "TMM" floor lamp, designed by Milá in 1961 and considered one of the masterpieces of Spanish design, is also characterized by its use of parchment paper (a durable, stiff paper resistant to heat, water, and oil) for its movable shade.

Additionally, the pendant light "M68," designed by Miguel Milá with a soft silhouette inspired by the lines of a woman's shoulder, is available in polished aluminum and white painted finishes.

Featuring Designers from the Nordic Region


From the designs of Finnish-born Ilmari Tapiovaara, the collection includes "MAIJA," characterized by its simple, honeycomb-like structure of overlapping non-translucent plates, creating beautiful interplay of light and shadow.

The "AJ ROYAL" floor lamp, a revival of a design by Danish architect and designer Arne Jacobsen for the SAS Royal Hotel, features an oval base and shade (fabric), offering different impressions depending on the viewing angle.
