Internationally renowned for designs that harmoniously
merge disparate influences and fascinations, Jason Miller
is part of a powerful set of New York-based designers who
have forged a fresh, contemporary American design aesthetic
that now regularly appears in top interiors projects across
the world. From his headquarters in Brooklyn, Miller
designs lighting, furniture, accessories and interiors,
running Jason Miller Studio as well as high-end lighting
brand Roll & Hill where he collaborates with independent
designers, from the well-established to the up and coming.
He has been instrumental in bringing American design to
the forefront of the international design conversation,
both through the power of his own designs, and through his
practical support of his peers.
Miller was educated in New York as a fine artist, receiving
a master’s degree in painting before working in the studio
of sculptor Jeff Koons. He established his eponymous design
studio in 2001 after transitioning from art direction in
the advertising world and working with industrial designer
Karim Rashid, a journey that gave him greater clarity
on the best outlet for his creativity. Miller’s designs
carry an imprint of his fine art education, revealed as a
reimagining of contemporary American culture.
A native of Darien, Connecticut, he is inspired by his
suburban upbringing: aiming to suit both suburban and
urban spheres, his designs are luxurious and warm, familiar
and completely new.
