Miguel Milá

Miguel Milá (1931), National Design Award winner in 1987, is one of the undisputed masters of industrial design in Spain. Belonging to the generation of pioneers in the 1950s, he contributed to laying the foundations of this discipline with the creation of furniture and lamps that have become true design classics. Inheriting from the Modern Movement, his objects recreate the poetry of simplicity and respond to the need to always create with rigor and honesty. Through his work, José Corredor-Matheos precisely and sensitively defines the challenging adventure of the beginnings of industrial design in Spain. The text reflects one of Miguel Milá's greatest virtues, achieving a perfect balance in an imperfect environment, and it is precise and lucid. Images and words seamlessly intertwine, highlighting the enormous contribution that subsequent generations owe to the work of this great master.
