History

The company was originally founded by Stephen Gordon in 1979 when he was trying to restore his Queen Anne Victorian home in Eureka, CA. After spending endless days tracking down missing bits and pieces of authentic period hardware, lighting fixtures and finishes, Gordon found there were a lot of people with the same problems. He sensed a need in the marketplace, found his true calling in life, and opened the first Restoration Hardware store in his home in 1980.

In 2001, the company began to reposition Restoration Hardware from a nostalgic, discovery-items business to a leading home furnishings brand. In 2008, it was taken private by investment funds affiliated with Catterton, Tower Three and Glenhill.

Restoration Hardware went public on November 2, 2012 on the New York Stock Exchange and sold 5.2 million shares at $24 each.
