TMM is one of the founding pieces of modern Spanish design, a wooden frame and a parchment shade that you move by hand. Miguel Milá designed it in 1961, and it has never needed updating.
The Design Story
Miguel Milá drew TMM in 1961, and its spare logic became a reference for the generations of Spanish designers who followed. The frame is a light wooden structure; the parchment shade slides up and down and rotates to point the light where it is needed. There is no switch on the body: the light turns on and off with a soft pull on the cable. Santa & Cole produces it in beech, natural oak, cherry, walnut and black oak. The white shade can be fitted with a translucent methacrylate top diffuser that closes the view from above.
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
- A 1961 Miguel Milá design, still made by Santa & Cole
- Five woods: beech, natural oak, cherry, walnut and black oak
- Shade rotates and slides along the frame
- Pull-cable switch with no visible hardware on the body
- Optional upper diffuser on the white shade
Made for Real Life
The parchment shade gives a warm, even glow and, angled down, works well as a reading light. The pull-cable switch becomes second nature after a day. Wood and parchment age gracefully and need only dusting. Dust the parchment with a soft dry brush and wipe the wood with a dry or barely damp cloth. Keep water and cleaning products off the shade.

Where It Shines
Put it beside a lounge chair, a sofa end or a bedroom armchair. Walnut and cherry suit warm, traditional rooms; beech and natural oak feel at home in Scandinavian interiors; black oak gives a graphic line in a pale room.
Who This Is Not For
The base needs about 60 x 50 cm of floor, so it is not for very tight corners. The upper diffuser works with energy-saving bulbs only, and the bulb is not included.
