Miguel Milá was once asked what an object needs
to become a classic, and he replied, “a good idea and
a simple execution”.
Strolling through Barcelona in the 1960s, designer
Miguel Milá found an abandoned opal globe in front
of a glass factory. He picked it up, and over the years,
it became the heart of this large family. As its name
suggests, Cesta (Spanish for ‘basket’) was designed
to hold this fragile piece.
Now a classic, the opal globe is one of the most
admired expressions of industrial craftsmanship
around the world. In our catalogue, it is featured
with different structures to fulfil its many purposes:
table top lights, wall or hanging lamp, for indoor or
outdoor spaces.
The Cesta family was born in response to a complex
question, that in time found multiple answers. After
half a century of existence, the Cesta family remains
iconic for many, and continues to illuminate hidden
corners as well as open spaces. A family that is well
loved, always present, and greatly admired by all
beholders.
