The Americana Wall Lamp is Miguel Milá's 1964 swing-arm sconce: a satin nickel arm with a single right-angled bend and a white linen shade.
The Design Story
Miguel Milá designed the Americana series in the mid-1960s as a tribute to George Hansen's 1950s swing-arm lamps. Hansen's arm pivots at its middle, while Milá used a single arm with a right-angled bend. The swivel sits on top of the support, without a lever effect, so the shade swings toward you or away while the base stays put. On the wall version the arm turns on the head of the bracket, reaching 38 cm (15 in) into the room. The series also includes a table lamp and a floor lamp, all in satin nickel with white linen.
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.

Made for Real Life
Swing it out to read, then fold it back against the wall when you are done. The linen shade lets a soft glow through while sending most of the light down. Dust the linen shade with a soft brush or a vacuum on low. Wipe the nickel with a dry cloth.
