See Studio RSH's New Showroom In San Francisco's Design District

Ryan S. Hammond’s by-appointment showroom has a new, more expansive home in San Francisco’s Design District. Within its 1,200 square feet, the industry veteran now represents additional local and national brands. The extra room translates to vignettes as well as fabric racks to peruse. Here, Hammond shares more details.

What prompted your recent move?

I opened a small studio last year and quickly outgrew it. When this larger space became available, I jumped on the opportunity to expand. It has a rustic, industrial vibe that I knew I could work with. At the old location, I didn’t have much furniture on display. Now, I feature multiple pieces from each of my vendors, with full vignettes that are thoughtfully curated to showcase something from all my lines. I also wanted a space that could accommodate events and allow me to host clients in a more engaging, social setting.

Tell us about some of the local lines in the showroom.

I represent CW Stockwell, Aderyn Studio and Guild by LMI. In addition to these lines, I feature my own collection of personally designed wallcoverings under the label Atelier RSH—born in San Francisco and very close to my heart.

How do you decide which brands to represent?

I look for lines that are design forward, high quality and have a distinct point of view. Everything I carry has to feel intentional, with craftsmanship and a story behind it. I recently added Sanderson Design Group, Maya Romanoff and Bella Furniture to the showroom. I also carry Aux Abris, an extraordinary wallcovering line created by my close friend Karen Robert, whose work is bold, imaginative and beautifully executed.
