Given his extraordinary talent, you would not expect Miles Redd to be so young. His style is characterized by bold colors, lustrous surfaces, layers of offbeat glamor and an inviting comfort. His rooms are a wonderful blend of the masculine and feminine, geometric and curvilinear. He loves Hollywood style and uses chinoiserie pieces to great advantage. The Hollywood vibe is not surprising given his background -- he initially came to the Big Apple from Atlanta to study film at NYU. While at NYU, he became interested in set design and after graduation, went to work for John Rosselli antiques and then the immensely talented Bunny Williams. Miles Redd has the soul of an artist, and I for one am thrilled that interior design claimed him so that we can all benefit from his ability to channel his gift into the creative spaces that showcase his vision.
