Santa & Cole - Santa & Cole - TMD Floor Lamp
With a structure supported by a circular metal base, the while linen shade of the TMD lamp looks like a sail hoisted on a mast. Whether switched on or off, the TMD manages to add warmth to the space around it. Another example of the timeless sobriety of Miguel Milá.

Referencing his iconic 1961 TMM Floor Lamp, Miguel Mila puts a material spin on his original design with the Santa & Cole TMD Floor Lamp. The frame sees metal replacing wood, the shade is linen rather than parchment and the base is round instead of cross-shaped. The elemental-but-inventive engineering remains the same - the shade is height adjustable along the top half of the fixture (via a rubber band stopper) and is free to rotate all the way around the stem. The ability to turn the lamp on and off is controlled by a flick of the Black fabric power cord.
Satin nickel structure; white linen shade.

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.
