Following a six-year renovation, RH has opened one of its most elegant locations to date in San Francisco.
The luxe home furnishings company, formerly known as Restoration Hardware, has opened an 80,000sq ft showroom (“gallery” in RH speak) at the historic Bethlehem Steel Building, described as the “crown jewel” of Pier 70 in San Francisco.
Constructed in 1917 and designed in the Classical Revival style by San Francisco architect Frederick H. Meyer, the landmark building has been meticulously restored and reimagined with great respect for its original vision, according to RH.
“We are both humbled and honoured to play a part in the re-establishment of San Francisco’s historic shipyards, and to reimagine the iconic Bethlehem Steel Building into a place open to the public for the very first time,” said RH Chairman and CEO Gary Friedman. “This was a rare opportunity to do what we love, in a city that we love and call our home.”
RH San Francisco continues the brand’s expansion into hospitality with The Palm Court Restaurant, a new “live-fire” concept set within a dramatic atrium of glass and steel with towering date palms and glimmering chandeliers. The stunning restaurant, which is sheathed in Italian Calacatta gold marble with a cascading centre fountain, features two wine bars at its dual entrances.
