Who designed Cestita Batería?

Miguel Milá (1931–2024) designed Cesta in 1962 after the lanterns of Mediterranean houses, and Cestita as its smaller sibling. A lantern is meant to be carried, and in 2017 Santa & Cole gave Cestita a rechargeable battery so it finally could be: from the dining table to the terrace to a child's room, without a cable.

How long does Cestita Batería last on a charge?

About 5 hours on the highest setting, 12 hours on medium, and 24 hours on the lowest. A full charge takes about 6.5 hours with the charger that comes in the box.

Spanish

Miguel Milá (Barcelona, 1931 – Bilbao, 2024) was one of the founders of modern Spanish design, and one of the few of his generation who was not an architect.

In the late 1950s he began working on interiors in the studio of his brother Alfonso Milá and Federico Correa and, finding almost nothing he could buy to furnish them, started designing his own lamps and furniture. To produce them he co-founded Tramo with the architects F. Ribas Barangé and E. Pérez Ullibarri. The name, short for Trabajos Molestos ("annoying jobs"), was a joke...
