The Big Book of Chic

November 19, 2014

Miles Redd loves books and the casual way he assembles them and incorporates pictures and found objects makes the space feel very personal.

In 2012 Miles Redd created THE BIG BOOK OF CHIC, published by Assouline. His sophisticated and unique style is both playful and glamorous; it mixes high and low, a strong sense of color and modern gestures. The entire text, quotes from famous artists, actors and authors, is printed in red and black large scale font. Graphically, it is an engaging format and the full page photographs in both color and black and white give the reader an insight into Miles’ very personal blend of work and fantasy.

Great Color in the Bath

November 7, 2012

As seen in Elle Decor, October

There is so much to like about this bath. The sink is installed on beautifully shaped metal legs with integral towel bars instead of the usual pedestal. This gives the ceramic basin a lightness that is proportionate for the narrow space. The mirrored back wall adds depth which appears to increase the size of the room. Natural light is a huge bonus and the tailored Roman shade is just the right treatment for the door; a linen fabric with a narrow stripe accentuates the verticality of the room. Brass shelves are an inspired touch, adding the idea of mixed finishes. They are practical as well, providing a place to display beautiful collections of objects and storage for elegant monogrammed towels.

Mirrors in the Bath

November 8, 2010

This is a little difficult to see, but it is an illustration of wood framed mirrored medicine cabinets. The double vanity and double cabinets are practical as well as attractive.
