Originally designed for the headquarters of Barcelona’s FAD (Fostering Arts and Design Association). The FAD was founded in 1903 by a group of artisans and architects deeply concerned about the consequences of industrialisation. For decades, the association has been a pioneer advocate for Spanish architecture and projective arts. Milá’s timeless de­sign is a true expression of industrial craftsmanship.

A hollowed cylindrical oak structure, creates a vertical symmetry that gracefully supports a white linen shade. The cross-shaped legs that recall other classics by Miguel Milá, share the same dimensions as the shade’s lower circumference.

Designed without artifice, the FAD floor and table lamps spark emotion through their simplicity. Both formats allow adjustable light intensity and height.
