Piece of classic lines and modern concept, is characterized by the contrast of its materials. Chromed steel structure, with a large square base from which emerge two plates joined by two rectangular pieces through which runs the electric cable. A cylindrical shade adds warmth to the structure. It is a model similar to the "Bach" series of lamps designed by Correo and Milá at the same time and produced by Polinax.

The tandem of Catalan architects Federico Correa and Alfonso Milá, both born in 1924, were one of the most prominent references of the Modern Movement in the second half of the 20th century. Correa and Milá followed the slogan that interior and industrial design were part of the same architectural project. Collaborators of José Antonio Coderch, they founded their own studio in 1953. Architecture of summer houses in Cadaqués, institutional and residential buildings, sports stadiums, factories and offices, interior design for the legendary restaurants FlashFlash or Il Giardinetto and singular and iconic design pieces to equip their own works and for furniture companies such as Gres.
