Description
Miguel Milá is considered one of Spain’s first and most influential industrial designers. Starting out as an interior designer amid the country’s early modernist movement, Milá began making the objects he needed but could not yet find on the market. He took raw and renewable materials and crafted prototypes by hand, occasionally evolving designs to perfect his now-iconic lighting and furniture.
Miguel Milá: A Life in Design is a detailed look back through his most emblematic works, produced between 1956 and 2021, with archival photos and drawings, as well as original photos shot at Milá’s Barcelona home by Nacho Alegre. Introducing the book is Jasper Morrison, while the products are catalogued and described by design academic Francisco Gaspar Quevedo, who also contributed a biographical text on Miguel’s life, career, and the principles that sprang from both.

Honest interiors and stories that inspire how we live.
Apartamento is widely recognised as today’s most influential, inspiring, and honest interiors magazine. International, well-designed, well-written, and tastefully curated, it is an indispensable resource for individuals passionate about how they live.
Nacho Alegre, Omar Sosa, and Marco Velardi founded the magazine 2008 in Barcelona, Spain. It is published biannually from its headquarters.
The idea for Apartamento came from Alegre's experiences traveling across Europe as a photographer. He became interested in how people express themselves through their living spaces. Sharing a different perspective on how people live, consume and create, the beds they sleep in, the food they eat, the clothes in their closets and the music they play. A refreshingly honest and inspiring read, now accompanied by a covetable range of books that take a deeper look inside these people's homes.
