The luxe home furnishings retailer has opened a “gallery” at the 151-acre DeHaan Estate, the former home of philanthropist Christel DeHaan.
One of the grandest RH (formerly Restoration Hardware) locations to date has opened in Indianapolis. The new RH features 62,000sq ft of space and represents “one of the largest, most inspiring and immersive physical expressions of the brand to date”, the company said.
The landmark property – considered one of the most accurate Palladian-style villas ever built in the US – has been reimagined with respect for its original vision as a prestigious private residence.
The space integrates furnishings and other items from RH’s interiors, contemporary, modern and outdoor collections with rare art, antiques and artefacts from across the globe. The interior design studio includes a private presentation room, state-of-the-art technology and design libraries showcasing a vast assortment of textiles, furniture and lighting finishes.
“The DeHaan Estate is one of the most magical properties in North America and we are honoured to open its gates to the public for the first time,” said RH Chairman and CEO Gary Friedman. “From the immaculately groomed grounds and tree-lined driveway, to the massive stone terrace and boat dock overlooking the lake and forest and the perfectly proportioned rooms filled with natural light from the abundance of windows, RH Indianapolis is a place to come and dream, be inspired by the architecture; get lost in the views, enjoy a meal in the grand ballroom or sip a glass of wine while strolling through the gardens.”
