Overview
- The gallery spans seven levels and about 42,000 square feet, uniting furniture showrooms with a design studio, a rare-book library, two restaurants, a bar and a rooftop.
- Visitors enter through gilded gates and a limestone, hedge-lined path to original bronze doors, creating the avenue’s only non–street-facing public entry.
- Foster + Partners delivered key interventions including a glass-encased design pavilion, the curved enclosure for Le Jardin RH and a disappearing glass-and-brass rooftop lift.
- Curation features a circa-1521 printing of Vitruvius’ De Architectura alongside art such as a bronze figure attributed to Louis-Félix Chabaud and floor-specific installations by artists including Thomas Junghans.
- A high-profile opening during Paris Design Week drew Zoe Saldaña, Catherine Deneuve, Ellen DeGeneres and Theo James, reinforcing CEO Gary Friedman’s vision-led positioning for the brand.
