Designed in 1964 by Miguel Milá for the firm Polinax, the suspension lamp model Max Bill stands out for its timeless aesthetics. Made of molded methacrylate in green, its design of clean lines and balanced proportions reflects the search for functionality and simplicity characteristic of the author. It provides a warm and diffused light.

Miguel Milá began his studies at the School of Architecture, although he soon abandoned them to work in the office of Federico Correa and Alfonso Milà. In 1958 he set up his own business as an industrial and interior designer. In the early sixties he witnessed the birth of Spanish industrial design, and throughout his long career he has been awarded the ADI FAD Delta de Oro prize six times, the first time in 1961, for the "TMC" lamp. He was also awarded the National Design Award in 1987, the Sant Jordi Cross in 1993, and in 2010 the CoNCA National Culture Award.
