Vintage Design

This 'Cestita' lamp was designed by Miguel Milá, circa 1962 and was manufactured by Tramo in Spain. The piece features a bamboo structure and plastic shade. Originally, this model was made in two different sizes, this is the small one.

Milá strongly represents Spanish contemporary design, belonging to the Pioneer's generation of the 1950s. Born in a Catalan aristocratic family with strong links with the artistic world (his ancestors assigned the Milá House, also known as La Pedrera, to Gaudí), he started working as an interior designer in the architecture studio of his brother Alfonso Milá and Federico Correa. A this time Spain had little industry and most furniture was handmade, marking the way Milá understood design, being closer to traditional techniques. Despite the shortage of objects, means and raw materials of the time, Milá started designing lamps and furniture, soon manufacturing in his own company, Tramo.

Milá participated with the designers and architects of that period in the first meetings in Barcelona to discuss modernity in architecture, out of which came the question of how to promote design and implant its professional practice. These meetings culminated in the foundation of the ADI-FAD, together with Antoni de Moragas, André Ricard, Bohigas, Cirici Pellicer, Manel Cases and Rafael Marquina. From its beginnings, this association sought to foster Spanish design abroad, and to make a connection between young Spanish professionals and international design
