The smaller version of the Cesta lamp is defined by a smaller wooden structure, always carefully polished and strongly assembled, holding the small opal glass globe in which its light is wrapped. This design, an object-lamp that creates spaces of pleasure wherever it is located, is one of its author’s most widely publicized international icons.
Inspired by the traditional lanterns that light up homes along the coast, rural estates and open terraces, Cesta is one of the most iconic lamps created by Miguel Milá. This lamp object can be picked up and carried easily, ideal for both tabletops and floors. The opal glass shade is supported by a beautiful cherry wooden structure. It is produced manually by European craftsmen, using traditional steam bending techniques for the wood, which is delicately polished and sturdily put together. Despite its peculiarity (or rather because of it) the lamp’s design and function remain contemporary.
The Cesta family is made up of the Cesta, Cestita, Cestita Batería, Cestita Alubat, Cesta Exterior, Cesta Metálica, and Cestita Metálica table lamps, the Wally Cesta and Wally Cestita wall lamp, and the Globo Cesta and Globo Cestita pendant lamps, symbols of Mediterranean warmth and well-being. These masterpieces by Miguel Milá are part of our Design Classics collection, a series of objects created throughout the Modernist era.
