Miguel Mil\u00e1 is considered one of Spain\u2019s first and most influential industrial designers<\/strong>. Starting out as an interior designer amid the country\u2019s early modernist movement, Mil\u00e1 began making the objects he needed but couldn\u2019t yet find on the market. He took raw and renewable materials and crafted prototypes by hand, occasionally evolving designs to perfect his now-iconic lighting and furniture.<\/p>\n

Miguel Mil\u00e1: A Life in Design<\/em> is a detailed look back through his most emblematic works, produced between 1956 and 2021, with archival photos and drawings<\/strong>, as well as original photos shot at Mil\u00e1\u2019s Barcelona home by Nacho Alegre<\/strong>. Introducing the book is seminal English designer Jasper Morrison<\/strong>, while the products are catalogued and described by design academic Francisco Gaspar Quevedo<\/strong>, who also contributed a biographical text on Miguel\u2019s life, career, and the principles that sprang from both.<\/p>\n
