Miguel Milá got everything right compositionally with this demonstration of industrial craftsmanship. Its cylindrical oak column creates a vertical symmetry that gracefully supports an almost cylindrical white linen shade, which is height-adjustable. With no time for unnecessary adornment, FAD lamps are distinguished by their permanent elegance.

Miguel Milá (1931-2024), 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 won numerous ADI awards (Barcelona), the first Spanish National Design Award (tied with André Ricard), the Spanish National Design Prize in 1987 and the ADI Compasso d’Oro for Lifetime Achievements.
In his book on the designer, José Corredor-Matheos recounts with sensitive accuracy the bold adventure of launching industrial design in Spain. The text acquires one of Miguel Milá finest virtues: the ability to reach a perfect balance in a seriously imperfect setting, achieving precision and lucidity.
