RH Unveils RH Estates with Legendary Designers & Ateliers

RH announced today the unveiling of RH Estates, making the work of the world's most legendary designers and ateliers accessible to consumers for the first time. The collection is inclusive of: The iconic designs of Michael Taylor, recognized globally as the godfather of the California look and called "One of the 20 greatest interior designers of all time," by Architectural Digest, the meticulous reproductions of Formations and the classical grandeur of Dennis & Leen, both highly regarded by the design community for decades and revered for their masterful finishes, and the hand-tailored couture upholstery of Dmitriy & Co., all recently acquired by RH.

To empower the design community, RH Estates also includes the introduction of RH Bespoke Furniture and RH Couture Upholstery. With RH Bespoke, RH is offering a level of customization never seen before at scale. Interior designers and architects can now specify dimensions for dressers, dining tables, sideboards, and cabinets to fit the exact proportions of their architectural canvas.

Simultaneously, the introduction of RH Couture Upholstery will redefine the boundaries by integrating custom sizing with COM (Customer's Own Material) into the RH ecosystem. We are giving designers and consumers the creative freedom to specify custom sizes and fabrics for sofas, sectionals, chairs, ottomans and beds. You source the fabric from anywhere in the world; we provide atelier level construction and craftsmanship.

The inaugural Sourcebook showcases over 165 collections spanning furniture, lighting, rugs, textiles, decor and outdoor, and also includes the introductions of RH Couture Upholstery and RH Bespoke Furniture, offering unprecedented quality, unrivaled craftsmanship and the highest expression of human artistry - a new vision of classic design reimagined through a contemporary lens. Pieces that not only furnish a home, those that define it.

RH Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Gary Friedman commented, "With the launch of RH Estates, we are removing the barriers that have segregated taste from scale, eliminating the creative limitations that have historically forced designers to choose between our scale and the uncompromising specificity of trade-only showrooms. This is not a compromise of quality - it is a liberation of mastery."

Mr. Friedman continued, "We believe the ability to scale taste creates higher quality and greater value for both the customer and the designer. RH Estates is proof that extraordinary design, craftsmanship and scale can exist harmoniously together."

THE COLLECTIONS WITHIN RH ESTATES R EFLECT A COMMITMENT TO CRAFTSMANSHIP NEVER BEFORE SEEN AT SCALE.

Hand carvings, meticulously applied finishes and time-honored construction techniques remain at the core of the assortment, with each design crafted and finished individually by master artisans. Because of this human touch, every single piece remains a one-of-a-kind masterpiece in its own right.

LAUNCHING IN RH DESIGN GALLERIES ACROSS NORTH AMERICA, EUROPE

AND THE UNITED KINGDOM, including RH Milan and RH London, RH Estates will also debut in forthcoming standalone Galleries in Greenwich, Connecticut, and West Hollywood, California.

HIGHLY REGARDED BY THE DESIGN COMMUNITY FOR DECADES AND REVERED FOR THEIR MASTERFUL FINISHES, FORMATIONS brings the world's finest design and quality to a global audience. Gracing the cover of the Sourcebook is Valencia, drawing on the ornate Moorish motifs of 17th-century Spanish architecture and celebrating the woodworker's hand.

The assortment is joined by Paloma, reimagining the architectural language of an 18th-century Portuguese antique. Celebrating refined ornamentation and artisanal craftsmanship, the collection is handmade of American black walnut and American alder with a patinaed finish and hammered openwork medallions.

Celebrating the grandeur of 17th- century Italian design, Baldacchino reflects Formations' long-renowned mastery of historical reinterpretation. Skilled artisans craft traditional spiraled posts that reflect the period's iconic barley twist, elevated by solid brass feet.

CONSIDERED THE GODFATHER OF THE CALIFORNIA LOOK, MICHAEL TAYLOR (San Francisco) was named one of the "20 Greatest Designers of All Time" by Architectural Digest. RH's deep respect for his body of work led to the acquisition of Michael Taylor Designs, preserving and reintroducing some of his most celebrated creations to a new generation. The collections, cast from Taylor's original molds, include Jennifer, inspired by the original chair designed for Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Jones in the 1970s, and the iconic Diamond Table, a bold architectural statement defined by faceted cast stone pedestal bases and monumental scale. Each collection reflects the legendary designer's signature mix of relaxed refinement and grand proportions, and is offered in all-weather materials for outdoor living.

AN HOMAGE TO THE ARCHITECTURAL BEAUTY OF OLD WORLD DESIGN, Oliviero by the Van Thiels (The Netherlands) - who scour the globe for rare antiques and translate them into sophisticated pieces - reimagines classical Venetian furnishings with masterful diamond carvings. Drawing on the timeless Moorish design language of 17th-century Spain, Barrasa is artisan-crafted of walnut and hand rubbed to a subtle luster, showcasing a geometric relief pattern that evokes a sculptural labyrinth.

REPRODUCED FROM A I7TH-CENTURY MONASTERY TABLE IN MR. FRIEDMAN'S

BELVEDERE, CALIFORNIA HOME, Monastery captures the commanding presence, timeworn

grandeur and storied patina of the original in remarkable detail.

RH ACQUIRED DMITRIY & CO TO BRING ITS UN PARALLELED CRAFTSMANSHIP AND COMFORT TO THE WORLD. Defined by couture techniques and guided by a third generation legacy, Donna and David Feldman have spent more than 15 years perfecting the art of upholstery. Launching with RH Estates, Dmitriy & Co presents a level of refinement, comfort and customization without peer. Akin to the precise pinning, draping and fitting of a couture gown, each piece is individually crafted, hand tailored and finished by master artisans.

IN ADDITION TO THESE SIGNIFICANT ACQUISITIONS, THE BRAND ANNOUNCES A NEW COVENANT WITH THE TRADE, introducing an exclusive program for Interior Designers and Architects - recognizing that the ultimate expression of these collections requires the vision of exceptional talent. To support the industry's leading professionals, RH is creating a symbiotic ecosystem on its global platform where design mastery is both accessible and rewarded at every level.
