TMM Corto is the short-armed sibling in Miguel Milá's TMM wall family: a compact wood bracket and a round parchment shade. It is a small object with the composure of a classic.
The Design Story
Miguel Milá designed the TMM wall lamps in 1964 for TRAMO, the company he set up to produce his own pieces in post-war Spain. At the time he described himself as a pre-industrial designer, finding practical solutions with the means available. TMM Corto shows that approach clearly: a short solid wood arm, a parchment drum and nothing more. The plug-in version is switched by gently pulling the cable, a detail that feels both clever and tactile. Santa & Cole makes it today in beech or walnut, with beige or white parchment.
About the Designer
Miguel Milá (Barcelona, 1931–2024) was a pioneer of Spanish industrial design. He drew lamps meant to be lived with for decades, and the TMM, Cesta, M64, FAD and Estadio families he created are still made by Santa & Cole today.
Why You'll Love It
- An original 1964 Miguel Milá design
- Natural parchment shade on a solid beech or walnut arm
- Choose a plug-in version or a hardwired one
- Pull-cord switching on the plug-in model
- Optional upper diffuser to soften light toward the ceiling
Made for Real Life
The parchment gives a warm, textured glow, and the short arm keeps the shade close to the wall. On the plug-in version you tug the cable lightly to turn it on or off, which becomes second nature. Walnut darkens gently with age. Brush dust off the parchment with a soft dry brush and keep it away from water. Wipe the wood with a dry cloth.

Where It Shines
Hang it over a nightstand, a small desk or a reading chair in a compact room. White parchment on beech suits Scandinavian rooms, while beige on walnut feels warm and mid-century. It looks good as a pair either side of a bed.
Who This Is Not For
Parchment does not like humidity, so skip it for bathrooms. The bulb is not included, and the methacrylate diffuser version needs low-heat energy saving bulbs only.
