Born in Barcelona in 1967, Gonzalo Milà is a Spanish designer working on the essence of the object.
He began studying architecture and started his career working at the Miguel Milà design studio in 1988. His experience led him to study industrial design at the Elisava School.
In 1994, he joined forces with Juan Carlos Ines to open the Ines-Milà studio, home to such landmark pieces as the Tutombas Pranha easy chair and the Balensiya rocking chair.
He later founded the Milà Diseño studio with Miguel and Micaela Milà. The group's most recognized projects included the interior design of Casa Milà and the Rama floor lamp, winner of the ADI-FAD Delta de Plata award.
In 1999 he joined Santa & Cole Ediciones de Diseño as head of the urban division, focusing on new product development.
Since 2001, he has been running his own studio, creating urban furniture, interior and exterior lighting, and accessories, as well as projects that promote the integration of wildlife in the city. A strict essentialist, his approach to design is humane, accessible and based on the fundamental importance of utility.
