The Americana lamp, designed by Miguel Milá in 1964, pays homage to the legendary series of swing-arm lamps designed by George W. Hansen in 1950.
The Americana series from Santa & Cole, which comprises a table lamp, a floor lamp and a wall lamp, is also built around an articulated arm, although here the arm is a single section with a right-angled bend. This defines its basic geometry and transfers the joint to the vertical axis of the shaft, affording enhanced mechanical performance.
