TMD lamp with metal structure, designed by Miguel Milá, for Santa & Cole

This is perhaps the most celebrated work of one of the main pioneering masters of industrial design in Spain. This lamp was part of the first collection of TRAMO (“Annoying Work”), the company that Miguel Milá founded to self-produce his work in post-war times in Spain, when he began rudimentary with a profession that he would later develop with mastery, that of pre-industrial designer, looking for suitable solutions with the available technology. Works Annoying, Mila's names are like her objects: their depth lies in their simplicity. And this representative of the TM family, Tra-mo Mó-vil, this time with a metallic structure, is presented as the informal alternative, or blue jeans, of it.

In a demonstration of formal serenity and functional efficiency, Miguel Milá managed to separate the three essential elements of any lamp: its structure, its electrical components and its lampshade, so that the user assembles them with extreme ease and enables better maintenance during its very long life useful life. And time beautifies it. The light source rotates circularly on the axis and can be raised or lowered like a flag on a pole.

After its iconic TMM lamp, whose structure is made of wood, comes the metal version. The designer approached the project with the idea of a screen that would be hoisted like a flag on a pole. To reduce the sections, he changed the wood to metal, and the blade feet to a circular base, but kept the ingenious system of a simple toric rubber to fix the screen at the desired height, as well as the gesture of turning it on and off by pulling the cable. And its lampshade, in elegant white linen, makes its warm light to accommodate its surroundings. This combination of materials and shapes ensures that, even muted, it provides warmth and creates spaces for contemplation.
