About the Item

Miguel Mila' Floor Lamp: A Timeless Spanish Modernist Classic Step into the world of Spanish modern design with this exquisite floor lamp by Miguel Mila', designed and manufactured in circa 1950 by Tramo, Spain. As a first edition piece, this lamp embodies the essence of post-war Spanish industrial design, making it a rare and valuable addition to any design collection or interior space. In good original condition, this floor lamp shows minor wear consistent with age and use, preserving a beautiful patina that only enhances its vintage charm. The craftsmanship and quality of this piece reflect Miguel Mila's signature design philosophy, blending functionality with aesthetic appeal in a way that only true design masters can achieve. Miguel Mila' is a key figure in Spanish contemporary design, known for his pioneering contributions to the 1950s design scene. Born into a Catalan aristocratic family with deep ties to the artistic world, Mila' began his career working in the architecture studio of his brother, Alfonso Mila', and Federico Correa. During a time of economic hardship in Spain, where industrial design was virtually non-existent, Mila' focused on creating handcrafted designs that emphasized tactile pleasure and traditional techniques. In the late 1950s, despite the scarcity of materials and resources, Mila' co-founded Tramo (short for Trabajos molestos, meaning "annoying works"), a company dedicated to producing furniture and lighting. This marked his entry into industrial design, and Tramo became the birthplace for several of his iconic designs, such as the TMC and TMM lamps. These timeless pieces continue to be celebrated for their enduring appeal. Mila' was also a central figure in the early design discussions in Barcelona that culminated in the foundation of ADI-FAD, an association that sought to promote Spanish design both locally and internationally. His dedication to innovation, coupled with his deep respect for traditional materials and craftsmanship, has made him a defining figure in the history of Catalan modern design. This floor lamp reflects Mila's pre-industrial design approach, where he favored noble materials that age beautifully over time. With its clean lines, thoughtful design, and timeless appeal, this lamp is a perfect representation of his ethos, blending modernity with tradition. Whether displayed in a living room, study, or gallery space, this floor lamp will elevate any interior with its sophisticated presence. It is more than just a light source—it's a tribute to the enduring legacy of Miguel Mila and his impact on the evolution of Spanish industrial design. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Spanish design history by one of its most influential figures.
