Cestita Table Lamp by Santa & Cole Spain

Cestita Table Lamp by Santa and Cole Barcelona, Spain

design by Miguel Mila, 1962

Strolling through Barcelona in the 1960s, designer Miguel Mila found an abandoned opal globe in front of a glass factory. He picked it up, and over the years, it became the heart of this large family. As its name suggests, Cesta (Spanish for basket), was designed to hold this fragile piece.

Inspired by the traditional lanterns that light up homes along the coast, rural estates and open terraces, Cesta is one of the most iconic lamps created by Miguel Mila. This lamp object can be picked up and carried easily, ideal for both tabletops and floors. The opal glass shade is supported by a beautiful cherry wooden structure. It is produced manually by European craftsmen, using traditional steam bending techniques for the wood, which is delicately polished and sturdily put together. Despite its peculiarity (or rather because of it) the lamp's design and function remain contemporary.

The Cesta family is made up of the Cesta, Cestita, Cestita Bateria, Cestita Alubat, Cesta Metalica, and Cestita Metalica table lamps, the Wally wall lamp, and the Globo Cesta and Globo Cestita pendant lamps, symbols of Mediterranean warmth and well-being. These masterpieces by Miguel Mila are part of our Design Classics collection, a series of objects created throughout the Modernist era.
