Former RH exec joins luxury staging and design company.

Former RH exec joins luxury staging and design company. Thomas Lester// Retail Editor//October 5, 2026 LOS ANGELES - Michael Brown, a former senior vice president for Top 100 retailer RH, has joined Vesta Home as chief creative officer. Brown joined the luxury home staging, interior design and furnishing company after more than 15 years with RH, where he helped found RH Interior Design in New York in 2011. As chief creative officer, Brown will develop Vesta Home furniture collections, drawing inspiration from the spaces we design, the clients we serve and the way people live. He also will lead the continued expansion of Vesta Home's luxury interior design division, defining its creative vision and shaping projects across markets. Working alongside CEO Julian Buckner and Vesta Home's leadership and design teams, Brown will bring his experience creating highly considered interiors and building interior design capabilities at scale. "In addition to Michael's celebrated success leading a significant division for RH, he is also a published and tenured interior designer, and that was incredibly important to us," said Buckner. "He understands that great interior design starts with how someone wants to live, and that the furniture, materials, art and objects all have to be in harmony to tell that story. He also has a rare combination of creative instinct, operational savvy and an ability to turn ambitious ideas into scalable, profitable businesses. As we deepen Vesta Home's interior design offering and continue to develop our own collections, Michael brings his proven creative leadership and perspective to help define where we go next." While at RH, Brown helped launch and lead several of the company's interior design innovations, including its embedded design offices and ateliers, its first standalone RH Interior Design studio in Palm Desert, Calif., and Bespoke RH Interior Design, a full-service residential interior architecture and design offering operating independently from RH galleries. Before joining RH, Brown co-founded Los Angeles-based design-build firm Custom Lime, where he designed and renovated residences and created custom furniture for high-net-worth and celebrity clientele. Together, those experiences have shaped a design philosophy rooted in the relationship between architecture, interiors and furniture, and in creating homes around how people live. "Vesta Home is at a dynamic and pivotal point in its evolution," said Brown. "High-end interior design is where I have spent so much of my career and where I see an enormous opportunity. What excites me about Vesta Home is that it already has this extraordinary window and early access into how people want to live, often before the home is even purchased. We're inside thousands of homes, seeing firsthand what people respond to and what makes a space feel personal. We can take that insight and build an even more elevated furniture collection and interior design service around it. I'm thrilled to work with Julian and the team to create furniture collections and considered interiors that will further establish Vesta Home as a luxury design authority."

RH: A real estate of affairs.

RH: A real estate of affairs. September 30th, 2026 Amid a turbulent economic climate, COVER Editor Lucy Upward takes a look at how RH is continuing to forge ahead with its capital-intensive business plan RH's post-pandemic financial story has been something of a rollercoaster. The company's revenue climbed to $3.43 billion in 2025, up from $3.18 billion the year before, but that recovery came only after years of retreat from pandemic-era highs. Thanks to tariff pressure and a stalled housing market, stock fell nearly 60% in 2025, despite RH delivering 8.4% revenue growth in the second quarter. Against this unpredictable backdrop, CEO Gary Friedman has continued to push his flagship 'galleries' rather than pulling back. For years he has stated that RH is moving from curating and selling product to conceptualising and selling entire spaces, building what he calls an ecosystem of 'Products, Places, Services and Spaces'. For Friedman, great architecture makes the product and brand more valuable, so RH either restores historic buildings or builds new ones from scratch. With this capital-intensive approach, Friedman is betting that immersive, unrepeatable spaces do something a website never could achieve. In COVER 81 (Winter 2025), I reported on how Friedman was dealing with tariffs and about two new RH 'galleries': RH Paris and RH England. Once again Friedman's philosophy is on full display at RH's newest and most ambitious European project: RH London, The Gallery in Mayfair. Designed with architecture firm Foster + Partners, the five-storey space occupies an 18th- century Palladian mansion once known as Queensberry House, then Uxbridge House, and later a Bank of England building. It is RH's first standalone London space, following its 2023 UK debut at Aynho Park and subsequent openings in Paris, Milan, Brussels, Madrid, Munich and Düsseldorf. The RH London opening party at the end of June matched the scale of the investment, with numerous celebrity guests who were able to munch on Petrossian caviar. The timing lines up with RH's biggest product launch in years: RH Estates. Unveiled with 165 collections, RH Estates draws on the archives of four well-known brands that RH has recently acquired: California design legend Michael Taylor, LA-based studio Formations, classical furniture atelier Dennis & Leen, and the couture upholstery house Dmitriy & Co, who will be leading RH Couture Upholstery. Friedman has called it his most significant bet yet, saying the launch represents an answer to an opportunity and could be the biggest thing RH has ever done. 'With the launch of RH Estates, we are removing the barriers that have segregated taste from scale, eliminating the creative limitations that have historically forced designers to choose between our scale and the uncompromising specificity of trade-only showrooms,' he comments. Rugs are a meaningful part of this development. RH Estates launched with twenty-three distinct rug collections, spanning hand-knotted wool and silk pieces produced in traditional weaving centres. One standout example is the Mia rug, hand knotted from wool and silk in India, which retails for $11,425-a price point signalling RH's push towards premium craftsmanship rather than mass-market reproduction. Alongside furniture and lighting, the rug offering is central to positioning Estates as heirloom-quality design made newly accessible. Looking ahead, RH shows no sign of slowing its gallery expansion. The company has confirmed forthcoming standalone Estates galleries in Greenwich, Connecticut and West Hollywood, California, extending the concept beyond its integrated US and European flagships. Internationally, RH is ready for its first Australian location, planned for Sydney. Whether or not the broader retail environment cooperates, Friedman's motivation is clear: 'We believe the ability to scale taste creates higher quality and greater value for both customer and the designer. RH Estates is proof that extraordinary design, craftsmanship and scale can exist harmoniously together.' Words by Lucy Upward

Sansiri, a leading name in Thailand's luxury real estate sector, continues to strengthen its role as a tastemaker and creator of elevated living experiences with the introduction of "Narasiri Victoire Krungthep Kreetha, in a first-time collaboration with RH Contract." Valued at THB 198 million, the exclusive Show Residence marks the first collaboration between NARASIRI and RH Contract, bringing together the distinctive identity of NARASIRI Sansiri's ultra-luxury single-detached house brand with more than two decades of heritage with RH, the globally recognised luxury lifestyle brand known for shaping contemporary perspectives on design, taste and style.

With NARASIRI, REm Thailand has taken this philosophy further by designing homes around the real lives and lifestyles of their owners, creating enduring value that can become a legacy asset over time. "Its collaboration with RH Contract goes beyond furnishing a Show Residence. It is about creating a home with a distinctive identity and an exceptional degree of rarity, with only one such residence available in Thailand. This exclusivity adds another layer of value, particularly within the ultra-luxury market, where buyers place increasing importance on individuality and rarity. "Combined with NARASIRI's defining qualities including warmth, privacy and meticulous design as well as its location in Krungthep Kreetha, one of Bangkok's key Strategic Luxury Locations, this residence is more than a home. It is an asset that brings together design value, rarity and lasting meaning." The launch also reflects Sansiri's overarching vision, "SANSIRI LUXURY COLLECTION - THE FOREFRONT OF LUXURY," which focuses on establishing new standards in luxury living while creating long-term value through the continued development of world-class super-luxury and luxury residential portfolios. Through collaborations with leading global brands and Sansiri's expertise as a tastemaker in design and lifestyle, NARASIRI aims to create living experiences with an international perspective while retaining a distinctive sense of identity and a genuine understanding of how homeowners live.

The Living Room is designed as an inviting setting for gathering and spending time together, while the bedrooms create a quieter, more intimate atmosphere conducive to rest and relaxation.

NARASIRI and RH Contract share a common design philosophy centred on Timeless Design, Authentic Materials and Exceptional Craftsmanship. The exclusive residence brings these principles together to create a living experience that is both elegant and warm, while leaving room for homeowners to express their individuality and add their own stories to the home over time. A Shared Design Vision The collaboration marks the first partnership between NARASIRI and RH Contract in Thailand, beginning with the inaugural residence at Narasiri Victoire Krungthep Kreetha.

Sansiri remains committed to the continued evolution of the NARASIRI brand, with a focus on creating enduring value through rare locations, considered design, exceptional craftsmanship and a residential experience that extends beyond the traditional definition of "home." Narasiri Victoire Krungthep Kreetha, furnished by RH Contract, represents this philosophy in tangible form, bringing together global design standards with the realities of everyday living to create a setting for stories, memories and a legacy to be passed from one generation to the next.
