Santa & Cole - Diana Floor Lamp
A graceful yet simple floor lamp in satin nickel and linen. Dimmer switch on cord.
In keeping with the calling of its creators, the Diana lamp has a timeless quality. Its metal structure and linen shade (gently softening two separate bulbs) are in perfect harmony. Designed to illuminate the Mayor of Barcelona’s new offices in the run-up to the 1992 Olympics, its appearance evokes a balance between classic tradition and modernity wherever it is placed.

Alfonso Milá
Both born in 1924, and fellow schoolmates since they were ten years old, Federico Correa and Alfonso Milá obtained their doctorates in architecture at the University of Barcelona.
In 1953, the two established their own architectural bureau, further entwining a friendly and professional relationship that has made their names inseparable. They projected with excellence as architects, interior and industrial designers. And they excelled in teaching and dissemintating both Barcelona and Spain’s creative work in the international debate on architecture and good design.
Miguel Milá
An interior designer, inventor and bricoleur, and a pioneer in his field in Spain, Milá 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.
Federico Correa
(Barcelona, 1924 – 2020) was a Catalan architect who established himself as one of the key figures of the Modern Movement in Catalonia. He graduated from the Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura de Barcelona in 1953. He collaborated, initially as an apprentice, with José Antonio Coderch, Josep Maria Jujol and Francesc Ràfols. His projects were inspired by the teachings of the Modern Movement where rationality prevailed as a way of approaching architecture.
