Regarded as one of Spain’s earliest and most influential industrial designers, Miguel Milá began his career as an interior designer at the height of the Modernist movement in the country, devising objects that he needed but which the market of the time did not yet offer.

Using natural and renewable raw materials, he handcrafted his own prototypes, refining essential pieces until he perfected the lighting and furniture that today form part of the legacy of contemporary design.

Miguel Milá: A Life in Design offers a comprehensive and intimate journey through his most iconic works, created between 1956 and 2021, bringing together archive images, original sketches and intimate photographs taken at his home in Barcelona by Nacho Alegre.

With a foreword by the renowned British designer Jasper Morrison, the volume catalogues each piece with texts and analysis by design scholar Francisco Gaspar Quevedo, who provides a detailed biographical perspective on Milá’s life, his professional career and the unwavering philosophy of honesty and comfort that guided his entire career.
