The Americana series was designed by Miguel Milá in the
mid-1960s to pay tribute to George Hansen’s 1950s lamp col-
lection. The Hansen lamps were 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 remarkable
geometry, Milá’s Americana series is also based on a swing
arm, although here the arm is a single section with a right-an-
gled bend. Accordingly, the head of the shaft becomes the
swivel that enables the shade’s horizontal rotation, reducing
the 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 has a timeless quality and func-
tional design, making it the perfect companion for reading.

La serie Americana fue concebida por Miguel Milá a me-
diados de los 1960s en homenaje a las lámparas de Geor-
ge Hansen, de los 1950. Éstas se basaban en el swing de un
brazo articulado en su mitad por una rótula que dividía el eje
horizontal en dos, permitiendo así su rotación, extensión o
contracción por su centro.

Animado por mejorar la ya estupenda geometría de
Hansen, la serie Americana de Milá se construye también en
torno a su brazo articulado, pero esta vez de segmento único
en ángulo recto. Con ello, la cabeza del fuste pasa a ser la ró-
tula que posibilita el giro horizontal de la pantalla, causando
así mucho menor efecto de palanca y permitiendo que pue-
da acercarse o alejarse sin mover su amplia base metálica,
evocando el movimiento del swing.

Una compañera para momentos de lectura o conversa-
ción íntima que, por su claridad formal, historia y funcionali-
dad, no pasa de moda.
