RH has announced the debut of its 2023 RH Interiors Sourcebook, a resource presenting 100 exclusive collections and a curated assortment of luxury furnishings.
The cover of the new Sourcebook features Byron, a collaboration with Sydney designers Nicholas and Harrison Condos, where a gently contoured and hand-carved reeded design crafted of European white oak creates a dramatic play of light and shadow. Thomas Bina and Ronald Sasson evoke the relaxed refinement of Brazilian modernism in Santiago, with curvilinear forms rendered in American black walnut and textural handwoven cane.
In first-time partnerships with RH, Francesco Crivellari and Oliver Oulton introduce generously-proportioned sofas and sectionals reflecting the architectural influence of 1970s design. Handcrafted and designed for maximised comfort, the Bella, Dillon and Durham collections are offered in an array of fabrics and leathers – Libeco Belgian linen, Holland & Sherry Australian wool twill, Italian artisanal hides and Viganò merino-wool velvet. The brand also unveils a wide selection of lounge and dining chairs inspired by midcentury, biomorphic, Klismos and wingback designs.
Spare and sculptural, Ligné by Julie Lawrence features a gently curved silhouette constructed of rift-cut American white oak with a slender plinth that reinforces its architectural profile. The American designer also introduces Josephine, a collection inspired by a 19th-century French garden table, where neoclassical forms in hand-forged metal are reimagined through a contemporary lens.
The Van Thiels present two collections this season. Padua is a study in exquisite workmanship with richly-grained American oak fashioned into streamlined shapes that provide a graceful counterpoint to sinuous metal hardware. Belmont pays homage to French Art Deco designs where geometric forms with waterfall corners are wrapped in European mappa burl–wood veneers, hand-finished to a matte luster that highlights the grain’s swirling patterns.
For his debut furniture collection with RH, Ron Mann unveils Andora – dining and occasional tables evoking the bold architecture of the postmodern movement with intersecting planks of wire-brushed American white oak that form dynamic angular bases.
In another first-time collaboration, solid European oak reclaimed from decades-old buildings defines two new collections by Nils Verhoeven – Jorris, featuring a minimalist form set in a narrow frame, and Julien, where carved narrow reeding serves as a dimensional counterpoint to the wood’s rustic character.
Illuminating the 2023 RH Interiors collection is lighting by glass designer Alison Berger, with Hemisphere inspired by the French Gothic architecture of Paris’ Notre-Dame and Tulip reflecting the graceful lines of the flower in bloom; and Demaret by acclaimed artisan Jonathan Browning, who was influenced by Austrian designs of the late 1960s.
