RH Estates, The Gallery on Greenwich Avenue, is a first-of-its-kind destination marking the North American debut of the brand’s latest concept, RH Estates, and its first freestanding Gallery in the world. First previewed at RH Milan during Salone del Mobile and introduced with the opening of RH London, the brand will continue to significantly expand the retail presence of RH Estates across the globe this year, followed by a second freestanding RH Estates Gallery on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles opening in 2027.
Located across from RH Greenwich, The Gallery at the Historic Post Office, and steps from RH Outdoor Greenwich, the new Gallery brings RH Estates and hospitality together to complete the RH Ecosystem with an immersive, multi-building experience in the heart of the Greenwich Avenue Historic District.
Pass through the ornate doors of scrolled iron and glass into the Great Room, where a grand staircase of wrought iron and gold leaf ascends from limestone floors, beneath a ceiling adorned with intricate cornice detailing and sculpted medallions.
Immerse yourself in artistic installations of RH Estates, amplifying the work of the world’s most legendary designers and ateliers, including 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 hand-tailored couture upholstery of Dmitriy & Co, all recently acquired by RH.
Discover a level of craftsmanship never before seen at scale, with hand carvings, meticulously applied finishes, and time-honored construction techniques revealed across RH Estates, 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 – pieces that not only furnish a home, but define it.
Dine at Cucina Angelina, the brand’s Italian restaurant named for Mr. Friedman’s mother, Angelina Ascari. At the heart of Cucina Angelina is Mr. Friedman’s personal tribute to his mother’s Italian heritage and to his uncle Geno Ascari, whose love of cooking brought the family together for Sunday dinners. Inspired by the belief that the time we spend around a table with the people we love has a way of staying with us, the restaurant is designed to create an experience unlike any other – built not for the moment, but for the memory.
Enveloped in floor-to-ceiling European oak millwork that flows seamlessly throughout, the 88-seat restaurant features herringbone floors, Italian wool velvet banquettes and a coffered ceiling, presenting a thoughtfully curated menu of Italian classics, wood-fired pizzas and enduring RH favorites. Gather at the intimate bar and lounge, sculpted from light Emperador marble, serving signature cocktails, fine wines and Champagnes from around the world.
