The harmony of swing
The Americana series was designed by Miguel Milá in the mid-1960s to pay tribute to George Hansen’s 1950s lamp collection. The Hansen lamps are built around a rotating arm with a swivel in the middle, dividing the horizontal axis into two sections. As a result, the arm can rotate, be folded in or opened out from the centre.
Enthralled by the idea of enhancing Hansen’s already remarkable geometry, Milá’s Americana series is also based on a swing arm, although here the arm is a single section with a right-angled bend. The swivel that enables the shade’s horizontal rotations is fastened onto the head of the wall bracket, without a lever effect. The arm can be moved towards you or away from you without shifting the large metal base, evoking the swing motion.
The Americana series includes a table lamp, a floor lamp and a wall lamp; and all feature a white linen lampshade and satin nickel structure with a rotating arm. Americana has a timeless quality and functional design, making it the perfect companion for reading or intimate conversations.
Miguel Milà, industrial and interior designer, inventor and bricoleur, began his career in the 1950s, and soon became a pioneer of Spanish design. To overcome the scarcity of resources at the time, he decided to design his own pieces. He soon began to produce objects at his company Tramo (Trabajos Molestos), and they remain true contemporary classics today.
In 2016, the Ministry of Education and Culture awarded him the Gold Medal for Merit in Fine Arts.
