Robert
2003
The result of an overhaul of the traditional edging for garden areas, Robert is defined by three main features: functionality, simplicity and timelessness. Its modular design allows great flexibility of use, adapting to suit the needs of the terrain and allowing it to be installed in continuous closed or open sequences.

Miguel Milá
Miguel Milá is a renowned industrial designer. In 1995, Santa & Cole's Urban Division, now Urbidermis, asked him to design an urban bench. The initial briefing gave rise to the NeoRomántico bench (1995), followed by a family of benches that have colonised cities the world over thanks to their ergonomics and functionality. In his professional career, he has been awarded six Delta de Oro awards by the ADI FAD (the Industrial Design Association for the Promotion of Art and Design) and the national design award for 1987). Miguel Milá was born in 1931 in Barcelona. He is the seventh child of a large family of eight (Pedro Milá Camps, his Uncle Pedro, contracted Antoni Gaudí to build the Casa Milá). In 1948, a young Milá entered the Barcelona Higher Technical School for Architecture (ETSAB) and seven years later, he began work in the architecture firm of his brother Alonso. Even still, Miguel Milá was not convinced by the world of architecture. In 1956 he left his studies and carried out his first interior design commission for his Aunt Nuria Sagnier's firm. Through this commission, he began to observe the lack of quality design objects for interiors, and started to experiment with various shapes and ergonomic forms. A year later, together with two architect friends, he founded Trabajos Molestos TRAMO: a company dedicated to the production and design of interior elements. This company gave rise to the creation of the iconic TMM (1958) and TMC (1961) lamps, now produced by Santa & Cole.During the 70s and 80s, Miguel Milá created the Industrial Design Association for the Promotion of Art and Design together with André Ricard, Antoni de Moragas, Oriol Bohigas and Rafael Marquina (ADI FAD), in which he participated in numerous editions. He won various Delta de Oro awards for the design of furniture and interior lighting and at the same time also participated in European design forums and events. He travelled to Venice, London and Paris frequently and became more and more involved in the world of design. In 1994, Santa & Cole's Urban Division, now Urbidermis, commissioned him to design an urban bench. This collaboration gave rise to the NeoRomántico bench (1995). Over time, the urban furniture family grew; in 2011, the aluminium NeoRomántico Liviano was the first element of the urban space to receive the "Cradle to Cradle" environmental certification. He also collaborated with Bet Figueras to create an elegant modular border for landscaped areas, the Robert (2003). Over the years, Miguel also collaborated with his son, Gonzalo Milá, another industrial designer, in the design of the Harpo family (2015), a simple element that can travel flat, and the Inner (2020), a comfortable, very hard-wearing element. His most recent collaboration explores the requirements of outdoor spaces for private use, with the Basic family (2020), a family of elements designed with urban use in mind, but with the softness of the residential world. Over the years, Miguel has received numerous highly significant awards and recognitions. These include the National Design Award (1987), the Creu de Sant Jordi (1993), the ADI Golden Compass for professional careers in Industrial Design (2008) and the Medal of Merit in the Fine Arts (2016) granted by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport.

Bet Figueras
Bet Figueras is considered a pioneer in landscaping and the Mediterranean urban oasis. Given an award for her work in the Barcelona Botanical Gardens, she was always true to her ecological conscience and the study of the urban ecosystem. She managed to bring together a qualified team of women landscapers and made the landscaping discipline conquer the lecture rooms of the ETSAB. Bet Figueras has worked as a landscape architect for Berkeley, Georgetown and Edinburgh. At the beginning of the eighties, she returned to Barcelona and founded a studio with Maria Jover. The new democratic municipal management was keen to regenerate the urban space with parks and green areas, following the tradition of Nicolás María Rubió Tudurí. Over the following decade, she managed to reform the large open spaces, boosting the new trend of Spanish landscaping interventions. Modest and generous with no desire to produce her own work, she devoted herself to collaborating with great architects like Rafael Moneo, Beth Galí and Cruz y Ortiz, infecting them with her admiration and extensive knowledge of the characteristics of trees.In 1987, Bet opened her own studio, Bet Figueras Associats. In collaboration with Carlos Ferrater and Josep Lluis Canosa, in 1992 she was involved in the blocks of the Vila Olímpica and in 1999 in the Botanical Gardens of Barcelona, a project for which they received the FAD award (2000) and the City of Barcelona Award for Architecture and Landscaping (1999). She also participated in the urban transformation of the Barcelona Universal Forum for Culture and the remodelling of the Parque de Cervantes in Barcelona (1999-2003). At the same time, her works also included private spaces like Bodegas Bilbaínas in Haro, the El Bulli restaurant and the La Florida y Omm Hotel. She formed part of the Landscape Institute and the Spanish Landscapers' Association. Bet Figueras was responsible for the creation of the Landscaping Masters at the Barcelona Higher Technical School for Architecture (ETSAB), where she passed on her knowledge acquired in the States and the UK. Additionally, the passion she had for her work and for teaching led her to train numerous women landscapers at her studio. Bet Figueras designed the Robert border (2003) together with Miguel Milá. A border that stands out for its functionality, simplicity and at the same time, timelessness. Its modular, flexible design allows the bordering of green areas and walkways, adapting itself to the needs of the terrain. Know more
