Miguel Milá

Miguel Milá, an interior designer, inventor and bricoleur, and a pioneer in his field in Spain, began working in the 1950s. With objects, resources and raw materials hard to come by at that time, Milá started designing his own furniture and lamps and soon set up his own company, Tramo (from the Spanish Tra-bajos Mo-lestos, ‘Annoying Jobs’). Many of his pieces have become true contemporary classics. In 2016, the Spanish Ministry of Education and Culture in Spain awarded him the Gold Medal for Merit in Fine Arts. He has won numerous ADI awards (Barcelona), the first Spanish National Design Award (tied with André Ricard), and the ADI Compasso d’Oro for Lifetime Achievements.

His lamps, his cane chairs and his iconic Barcelona benches are already part of our collective imagination, but his work is much broader, always attentive to human needs and with a deep sense of functionality and aesthetics. Miguel Milá has also been an ecologist avant la lettre and a defender of “the essential” and “emotion” as decisive elements in design.

There have been books analyzing his work, and an important documentary, but never before a “Milá by Milá”.  In The Essential Milá talks about himself, his work, his principles, and his ideas, but also about his family (so closely linked to the history of Barcelona), his own life and the education of his children.

This is not a book for designers or only for designers. The practical advice of this award-winning artist who defines himself as “inventor and bricoleur” helps us to represent our personal world, to surround ourselves with beautiful and useful objects (“a lamp spends much more time off than on,” Milá reminds us), to distinguish design aberrations (such as square sinks or dishes), to recognize what is truly important (“what is simple is difficult to achieve”), to know how to live in harmony with the elements and nature, but also with others, starting with our own family (“be useful and they will use you”).

The essential is the theoretical and vital legacy of one of our best designers, whose work confirms the definition of “classic”: that which cannot be done better.

What is a Neoserie? ® ?

The democratization of art

Neoseries: the pleasure of art
Santa & Cole presents a whole new way of understanding works of art, advocating the democratisation of aesthetic experience. We have selected works by artists whom we admire, to reproduce them using a cutting-edge and highly accurate method. Our Neoseries allows people to enjoy the beauty, without the restrictions inherent to unique pieces.


An innovative reproduction technique
An exact, authorised reproduction, always in the same format as the original. Made from a unique work, produced in the laboratory and with a support chosen in each case according to the work, light or stroke of the artist, the Neoseries are reproductions, faithful to the original in size, colour and texture, producing the same experience as the original work.


The artists receive royalties
The Neoseries are works in their own right carried out under the supervision of the original artist (or their designated heirs) with direct intervention, to ensure their quality and fidelity to the original work. When you acquire a Neoseries, you are participating directly in the career of your chosen artist, who receives royalties for all Neoseries produced from their original pieces.


Neoseries: unlimited, numbered, authorised and certified
The Neoseries are unlimited, numbered, authorised and certified. They are only produced on demand, so production never outstrips sales. Santa & Cole publicly shows the numbering using counters on this website.


Dynamic pricing
The price of the first unit of a Neoseries will always be considerably lower than that of the original work that preceded it. Each additional unit produced sees a price increment of 1% from the initial price. Thus, the acceptance of a Neoseries determines the price increase of the following units as well as its original. For example, the price of copy number ten of a Neoseries will be 10% more expensive than that of copy number one, and copy one hundred will cost twice as much. Santa & Cole publishes the number of pieces sold each Neoseries, transparently displaying their price at all times.

    What does it mean to acquire the original of a Neoseries? The democratization of art
    One original for multiple Neoseries With the Neoseries concept, Santa & Cole proposes a new way of understanding art works, furthering the democratisation of aesthetic experience. We edit works by artists whom we admire, and produce authorised and certified reproductions, sharing the joy of their beauty without the constraints of one-off pieces. The pivotal role of the original work The demand for reproductions of an original work reflects the interest and relevance of it. Consequently, to own a unique original piece of a Neoseries is not to own just any work: with it, you are contributing to a creation that has enabled the enjoyment of many, so you it is only right that you should also participate in its rewards. A matter of Intellectual Property Neoseries are carried out under the supervision of the artists (or their heirs), with direct intervention, and the artists receive royalties for all units produced. To own a Neoserialised original work also affords you rights, and your will receive 1% of the sale price of the sum of the Neoseries on which your work is based. Thus, we reward your commitment to artistic talent and your work as a patron of the arts. Relative and dynamic pricing The price of the first unit of a Neoseries will always be a fraction of the price of the unique, original work, incrementing in accordance with the number of Neoseries units sold, which will always be publicly and transparently displayed on this website. Thus, demand for a particular Neoseries will also end up determining the price of its original work.
