The Alas table by Miguel Milá for Gres is a very representative piece of the Spanish design of the 70's: sober, functional and extremely well resolved from the constructive point of view. It was designed by Miguel Milá in 1970 and began to be produced and marketed by Gres around 1973. It is a folding wooden table conceived to adapt to different uses and spaces.

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.
