Restoration Hardware has debuted its latest gallery in Palo Alto, CA, featuring a product assortment that includes merchandise from RH Interiors, Contemporary, Modern and Outdoor with rare art, antiques and artifacts from across the globe.
A transparent, multilevel contemporary structure, the gallery mounts a parchment-cream Venetian plaster exterior with an expanse of glass-and-steel French doors that open onto garden courtyards and terraces surrounded by 100-year-old heritage olive trees, the company pointed out.
On the main level, visitors pass through a 25-foot threshold of retractable glass-and-steel doors as they continue to an arrangement of rooms integrating the brand’s assortment of furnishings, lighting and décor with one-of-a-kind antiques and artifacts from the world travels undertaken by RH chairman and CEO Gary Friedman.
On the second level, shoppers will find lifestyle installations of RH collections by internationally acclaimed designers, as well as the RH Interior Design Studio. Ascending a grand champagne double floating staircase, guests will arrive at the Rooftop Restaurant, offering a menu of enduring classics served within a dramatic glass-encased structure
In announcing the store debut, Friedman said, “RH Palo Alto reflects our commitment to creating architecturally inspiring and immersive spaces that blur the lines between residential and retail, indoors and outdoors, home and hospitality. Spaces that activate all our senses and spaces that cannot be replicated online. We are thrilled to be part of the energy and invention that continues to define the Silicon Valley community, and we are proud to add this gallery to our hometown portfolio.”
