Miguel Milà
Industrial Designer
Born in Barcelona in 1931.
Started his professional career in 1950 in the architectural
practice of Federico Correa and Alfonso Milà, setting up his
own practice eight years later. From then on his career has
marked a high in Catalan and Spanish design.
He worked as a professor in the Elisava and Eina schools in
Barcelona during the 1960’s and design partner in ADI FAD
since 1960.
His rationalist training led him to seek the maximum simplification
of form and the use of minimal elements as a result of strict
functionality.
