This design library has been architected around inspiration and
categorization. Four lifestyle books – RH
Interiors, RH Outdoor, RH Small
Spaces and RH Baby & Child – generate new
ideas and fresh perspectives on designing and defining a home. The
four lifestyle books are accompanied by nine category books
– RH Leather, RH Upholstery, RH
Furniture, RH Rugs, RH Lighting, RH
Bath, RH Linens, RH Objects of
Curiosity and RH Tableware – to provide a
resource for consumers and designers alike.
Original editorial profiles included in the books celebrate the
craftsmanship of internationally recognized designers and artisan
manufacturers, as well as highlight their new collections for RH.
In “A Family Affair,” RH introduces the Fincos, a family that has
been artfully tanning fine leather in the medieval town of Bassano
del Grappa for five generations spanning 149 years. Similarly, in
“The Deconstructionists,” readers meet the Ferreros –another
Italian family who have literally turned the leather industry
inside out, dreaming up an entirely new distressed leather called
Destroyed. The adventurous and ever-inspired Dutch furniture
designer Luay Al-Rawi is featured in “The Globe Trotter of
Haarlem,” and the incomparable Van Thiel family – driven by their
legendary obsession with old-world antiques –take center stage in
“The Mad Men of the Netherlands.” Persian-born, London-raised Ben
Soleimani – whose partnership with RH has yielded over 3,500 new,
masterfully handcrafted rugs – and renowned American designers John
Hutton and David and Ann Sutherland are also among those recognized
for their new collections.
The 13 Source Books debut in May. The concept, production and
mailing of the books underscore RH’s commitment to sustainability.
The Source Books are published just once a year and mailed in a
single package, printed on forest-certified paper, shipped carbon
neutral and are fully recyclable. RH is the founding sponsor of the
Verso Forest Certification Grant Program, which provides start-up
funding to expand forest certification and advance responsible
management practices, such as promoting a cycle of sustainability.
All Source Books are printed on PEFC-certified paper sourced
exclusively from such forests in North America. To further mitigate
its carbon footprint, RH also collaborates with UPS® to ship UPS
carbon neutral ™. On RH’s behalf, UPS purchases certified carbon
offsets to fund conservation and reforestation projects, such as
wetlands restoration and planting trees in national forests.
Together, these steps help reduce our environmental impact.
