In memoriam Miguel Milá

In memoriam Miguel Milá 1931 – 2024

Miguel Milá could use wit and humor intelligently. He was discreet and approachable at the same time, and his designs were as honest as he was. We wonder if these designs reflect his sense of humor. The answer, if we were to ask him, would perhaps be a wry smile. There might be no answer to this question, but we can’t ask him either because Miguel has recently left us.

“Wit and humor, like all corrosive things, must be handled with care,” wrote Georg Christoph Lichtenberg in his Notebooks.

Miguel did this brilliantly.
