Miles Redd
Design Principal, Redd Kaihoi

Miles Redd’s designs are not for the aesthetically meek. Bright colors and bold patterns prevail in the New York–based AD100 and AD PRO Directory designer’s work, produced in collaboration with business partner David Kaihoi. The firm’s interiors exude a certain fearlessness and an undeniable sense of fun—all while still feeling very much like home. Trained under design legends Bunny Williams and John Rosselli, Redd has rounded out his interiors portfolio with a line fabric, wallpaper, and rugs for Schumacher.
