Featuring over 200 items including prototypes, maps and recent works, this exhibition provides an exploration into the life and legacy of one of Barcelona’s most influential designers. Spanning a career of more than seven decades, Milá has been honoured with prestigious awards such as the Premi Nacional de Disseny and the Compasso d’Oro Internazionale, securing his place as a central figure in the evolution of industrial design. His approach blends practicality, elegance and simplicity, driven by the belief that great design should be both useful and timeless.
