Floor lamp from the Bach series designed in 1970 by the architectural couple Federico Correa and Alfonso Milá. Originally produced by Polinax, it was later edited by Gres and Santa&Cole. Piece of classic lines and modern concept, it is characterized by the contrast of its materials. Structure with a large square base from which emerge two plates joined by two rectangular pieces through which the electric cable runs. A large, slightly conical shade adds warmth to the metal structure. A timeless design exercise by two of the great references of the Modern Movement in Spain.
The tandem of Catalan architects Federico Correa and Alfonso Milá, both born in 1924, were one of the most outstanding references of the Modern Movement in the second half of the 20th century. Correa and Milá followed the slogan that interior and industrial design were part of the same architectural project. Collaborators of José Antonio Coderch, they founded their own studio in 1953. Architecture of summer houses in Cadaqués, institutional and residential buildings, sports stadiums, factories and offices, interior design for the legendary restaurants FlashFlash or Il Giardinetto and singular and iconic design pieces to equip their own works and for furniture companies such as Gres.
