RH (formerly Restoration Hardware) has opened a sprawling new gallery on the Champs-Élysées in Paris, blending high-end furniture showrooms with art, fine dining, and a garden. The space, located at 23 Avenue des Champs-Élysées, was transformed from a former cinema and Abercrombie & Fitch flagship over six years. The opening event during Paris Design Week drew nearly one thousand guests, including Ellen DeGeneres, Portia de Rossi, Catherine Deneuve, Zoë Saldaña, and Theo James, with catering by chef Cyril Lignac and cocktails by Colin Field.
This opening matters because it marks RH's ambitious expansion into Europe's luxury capital, positioning American interior design as a cultural force on the global stage. By occupying a landmark address alongside French icons like Dior and Louis Vuitton, RH signals that furniture retail can be an immersive cultural experience—merging art, architecture, and hospitality. The event also underscores the growing crossover between design, art, and celebrity culture in the luxury market.
