RH (formerly known as Restoration Hardware) is renowned for its enormous sofas and tables crafted with weighty slabs of salvaged wood. Now the furniture manufacturer is taking a seat (as well as making them) at the aviation and marine tables with RH One, its private jet, and RH Three, its refitted yacht.
They’re not corporate vessels but rather a splashy part of a larger experiential initiative that also includes the brand’s hospitality venues such as its restaurants in Napa Valley, Chicago and, on the horizon, San Francisco. The goal with this foray into planes and boats is simple: bring a trained design eye—and the feeling of home—to these often-overlooked interiors. However, the execution took some engineering to achieve the brand’s signature aesthetic with lightweight wood and marble veneers rather than chunky blocks of materials. RH One, for instance, features rift-sawn European white oak in the 12-person cabin—the first all-wood interior Gulfstream has ever installed. Well, it’s not all wood: RH covered the G650’s floors with hand-tufted wool, silk and cashmere. The exterior distinguishes itself from the cold steel or white typical of other private jets with the company’s pervasive neutral gray-and-champagne color scheme.

RH Three has a bit more history behind it. Turkish builder RMK Marine designed the 127-foot expedition yacht in 2003, and in 2016, it was renovated by Belgian architect Vincent Van Duysen. This spring, the finishing touches were being added to its latest reimagining by RH chairman and CEO Gary Friedman. No surprise, the exterior paint job went from a classic black and white to a palette similar to RH One’s—a wheat and “phantom gray” combo. The finishes in the cabin and staterooms include Carrara marble, Italian leather, wire-brushed European oak, lacquer and stainless steel.
Onboard amenities include a sky lounge, three sunbathing areas furnished with massive daybeds, an outdoor gym and a swim platform, plus plenty of action-sport water toys. A top-deck sunset terrace invites stargazing and the roasting of s’mores over its firepit. The boat is available for charter in the Caribbean and the Mediterranean for up to eight guests. Charter experiences on both the yacht and the planes (there’s also a G550 RH Two) can be booked through the brand’s new digital portal, the World of RH, launching later this year. We can’t help but wonder if the company missed the boat on timing—yacht and private-jet travel was especially desirable during the pandemic and before fuel prices went sky-high.

At 45, Maitland Ward is unapologetic about "everything" in her life."I'm unapologetic about sex … but I think it's me in my truth and everything," she tells Yahoo Life. "When I was young, I was so apologetic for so many years. I will never apologize anymore."The actress, who got her start on The Bold and the Beautiful before joining the cast of the popular teen sitcom Boy Meets World as Rachel in 1998, has since left Hollywood for a career in pornography. That shift — which she chronicles in her upcoming book, Rated X: How Porn Liberated Me From Hollywood, out Sept. 6 — was one of taking back control of her sexuality."I was always looked at, in my view, as the more provocative one — people were fascinated by my long legs, and that I'm so tall and I have fiery red hair, and it was like it almost made that OK," Ward says of her experiences on TV sets, noting that some of what she experienced would not be "acceptable" today. "People would come up and, like, pat you on the ass or like give you a little pinch or say, 'Oh, look how hot you are. Look at your tits.'"What was especially challenging, Ward says, was that she was expected to be "a sexualized being" for other people, but not actually enjoy her own sexuality. She was told to be virginal and chaste, but also appeal to male viewers.
