“There is a well-mannered elegance about much of (Alexander’s) work, which harks back to the Arts and Crafts movement, but his forms and ideas also speak about today. No doubt he is creating tomorrow’s antiques.”
Jeremy Myerson, Professor of Design Studies, Director, InnovationRCA, Royal College of Art
From the simplicity of the Revo bed to the design tour-de-force that is the Novello desk, the name Alexander Miles has become synonymous with elegance, function and modern styling while retaining traditional values and ethics, taking pride in upholding standards that reflect the quality of the products.
Alexander Miles grew up around his father’s antique business, and demonstrated an appreciation for fine hand-made furniture at an early age. On leaving school he pursued a degree in Surveying before becoming interested in furniture design and in particular, the restoration of antique pieces.
Recognising the potential of, and consumer desire for high-quality, British, hand-made furniture, and armed with a portfolio of unique designs and a boundless passion and enthusiasm, Alex took the first steps towards realising his own ideas; a decade later, Alexander Miles is established as one of the country’s leading designers of contemporary, bespoke furniture, benefiting from teams of dedicated and highly skilled craftsmen capable of accurately interpreting and recreating the most complex design ideas, a stylish West London showroom, and a portfolio that has expanded into the superlative ranges available today.
