This table was conceived by Miguel Milá as an altar for his wedding celebration. However, this attempt at liturgical art failed commercially. Some time later the altar was reduced in height and became a table for everyday use like the one we now present.

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.
