mila cesta table lamp Designed by Miguel Mila, 1964 The Cesta, a magic lantern created by well-known designer Miguel Milá,
consists of a cherry wood structure and an inner ball of light. Its oval
volume and handle make it equally ideal for table tops and the floor.
In the mid-sixties, the Cesta's supporting structure was made of
Manila cane and the ball of light was made of plastic. Santa & Cole
dignified and updated it after 1996, using heat-curved cherry wood and an
opal crystal ball which enclosed the bulb, and adding a dimmer which
allowed adjustment of light intensity.
It is a lamp with a sense of nostalgia, which is proving even more
attractive for the newer generations. It is reminiscent of the style of
lantern which hung on coastal houses as a signal for the returning
sailors, and which was also found in country houses and terraces open to
the dark nights of 1970s Spain. Today, it is a classic lantern found in
houses with a wide range of décors, and bears the characteristic stamp of
its designer Miguel Milá.
Like a Chinese lantern or portable torch, it would not be out of place in
the Japanese palaces of the Edo period, with its careful modulation of
light and shadow.
The attention to detail is reflected in the fact that not a single screw is
visible, and that a wooden pin enables the handle to be turned and prevents
it escaping from its guide, with the result that all the materials employed
for the mechanism are wood.
