This is an enhanced rendering of the metal version of the Cesta and has its own specific features.
It comes with or without a leather handle, the smooth feel of which stands in stark contrast to the stern rigidity of the bars that gently house the opal-shaped globe that lacks an opening on top. A blend of the firm and the fragile.
Miguel Milá
A member of the generation of industrial design pioneers in Spain who has seen some of his furniture and lamps become real contemporary classics.
Miguel Milá was 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), and started working as an interior designer in the architecture studio of his brother Alfonso Milá and Federico Correa. It was the end of the 50s, a time of crisis when Spain hardly knew what industrial design was. There was practically no industry, everything was generally handmade. This framework marked the way Miguel Milá understood design, being sensitive to the pleasure of touching and closer to traditional techniques.
