Anthony Redmile’s design style has been defined as eccentric, opulent, and over-the-top. House & Garden Britain once described him as “without doubt the most original, prolific and fantastical designer in Britain.” Born in England in 1940, the Post-War and Contemporary designer is best known for his extravagant furniture design, fine art objects, and interior design work. His objets d’art include ostrich eggs adorned in malachite and silver, mirrors framed with horns, and animal forms trimmed with agate and seashells. Redmile’s celebrity client list is comprised of Rod Stewart, Jacqueline Onassis, Erté and members of the British royal family among others.
