Coffee table designed by Miguel Milá and published by Gres in 1962, which in the same year launched the rectangular and square models of this table with tempered glass top and metal structure composed of four legs of chromed metal plates attached to a thin black stretcher frame. This table is characterized by its lightness and transparency.

Miguel Milá began his studies at the School of Architecture, although he soon abandoned them to work in the office of Federico Correa and Alfonso Milà. In 1958 he set up his own business as an industrial and interior designer. In the early sixties he witnessed the birth of Spanish industrial design, and throughout his long career he has been awarded the ADI FAD Delta de Oro prize six times, the first time in 1961, for the "TMC" lamp. He was also awarded the National Design Award in 1987, the Sant Jordi Cross in 1993, and in 2010 the CoNCA National Culture Award.
