Cesta Table Lamp

Overview

Cesta is a table lamp designed by Miguel Milá, dated 1962 on the Santa & Cole product page and data sheet (code CESTA01). Santa & Cole calls it a lamp-object that finds its place as naturally on a table as on the floor, and its data sheet says it can be picked up and carried easily. Its structure is cherry wood and its lampshade is white opal glass, a globe that, in the company's words, softly diffuses the light.

Construction

Santa & Cole says the lamp is crafted by European artisans using traditional steam-bending techniques, with each curve carefully polished and firmly assembled by hand. The data sheet gives the cherry wood structure and the white opal glass lampshade as the general description.

A lamp for table or floor
