The bulbous Globo Cesta Suspension Lamp was designed by Miguel Mila for the brand Santa & Cole.(br)(br)A pioneer in his field, Mila began designing his furniture and lamps in 1950 due to a lack of basic material and supplies in Spain at that time. Many of his pieces have become recognised as present-day exemplars. Mila has been awarded several ADI awards and was awarded the gold medal for Merit in Fine Arts in 2016. His creations seek to solve minor household decor, and lighting issues without compromising convenience or aesthetics.(br)(br)The Globo Cesta Suspension Lamp created by Mila for Santa & Cole is a perfect example of this type of design. The Globo Cesta Suspension Lamp is comprised of a classically shaped opal glass shade and a metal circular canopy bringing to mind the lamps used to light beach-front houses and country estates in Spain. The electric cable is 3m allowing the lamp to be hung from a height. The lampshade measures 31cm in height and 27cm in diameter and the canopy has a diameter of 11cm. The diffuser has a diameter of 27cm. Whilst not included, this lamp uses a 10W LED bulb, but can be used with other energy-efficient light sources not greater than 75W.
