Cesta Exterior takes Miguel Milá's 1960s Cesta lantern outdoors, with an aluminum frame and a white opal polyethylene shade rated IP65.
The Design Story
The original Cesta, Spanish for basket, is one of Miguel Milá's best-known lamps: a glowing globe carried in a frame you can lift and move. In 2022 Santa & Cole released this exterior version, keeping the portable spirit while changing the materials for the garden. The frame is aluminum in black, British racing green or reddish orange, and the opal shade is polyethylene. It sits on a table or on the ground, and its long cable lets it move around a terrace.
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.

Where It Shines
