Essential: A Design Guide for Life 由備受讚譽的西班牙設計師 Miguel Milá(1931–2024)所著,是一部交織藝術家宣言、家族歷史與生活哲學的敘事作品。本書最初於 2019 年以西班牙文《Lo esencial》出版並大獲成功,後由獲獎翻譯家 Valerie Miles 譯為英文。《Essential》是我們全新閱讀系列的第一冊,專注於知名創意人士的思想與反思。雖然讚揚其作品的書籍眾多,包括 Apartamento 出版的《Miguel Milá: A Life in Design》,但這本獨特的著作是首部由他親自闡述設計哲學的作品。

來自出版社:

「我對 Miguel Milá 已經受夠了」,這位獲獎無數的西班牙設計師在《Essential: A Design Guide for Life.》序言的第一行如此寫道。Miguel Milá 是巴塞隆納本地人,其創新作品不僅定義了這座城市的美學,也影響了全球設計界。他那些已成經典的燈具與椅子,為當時華麗的設計風格注入了極簡主義;而造訪巴塞隆納,也意味著坐在他著名的長椅上,體驗他將居家舒適帶入公共空間的使命。儘管職業生涯橫跨七十年,並囊括多項設計界最高榮譽,Milá 始終保持謙遜、低調,並全心致力於從實用角度理解的美。《Essential》集結了 Milá 與記者兼藝術史學家 Anatxu Zabalbeascoa 的對談。這部英文首版由獲獎翻譯家 Valerie Miles 翻譯,她也是《Granta en español》的共同創辦人。正如她所言:「沒有什麼比 Miguel Milá 更 essential 了。」

The way he weaves his family history into practical design philosophy genuinely shifted how I see my own living space. I've already started applying his trick of scrutinizing everyday objects for their true necessity, and my apartment feels calmer for it.

George ★★★★★

It’s rare to find a design book that reads like a warm conversation with a mentor, but Milá’s blend of personal history and practical philosophy does exactly that. The way he connects his family’s story to broader notes on everyday living feels both intimate and timeless, and I keep coming back to a

Claire Z. ★★★★★

The way Milá weaves his family history into the design philosophy makes every chapter feel personal, not preachy—I actually slowed down to reread several passages about living well. It’s the kind of book you keep on the coffee table and pick up for ten minutes, then find yourself still there an hour
