The Olsen twins quietly introduce rare vintage furniture into The Row’s Galerie, turning collectible design into fashion’s most coveted new frontier.
The Row doesn’t typically announce expansions with fanfare, so it’s unsurprising that the brand’s introduction of vintage furniture to its Galerie collection arrived discreetly online. Listed under the newly updated Galerie section, these mid-century pieces mark the label’s first step into retailing home furniture. Items by influential French modernists such as René Gabriel and Charlotte Perriand appeared with minimal notice, offered simply alongside existing art and jewelry selections. Notable designs include a Charlotte Perriand Cansado table from 1958 and 1960 armchairs by Guillerme et Chambron—each exemplifying the clean lines and subtle restraint characteristic of The Row’s aesthetic.
Furniture might seem like a new direction, but it’s actually a natural progression for The Row. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have consistently demonstrated impeccable taste in interiors, incorporating collectible vintage furniture into runway settings and boutique spaces for years. At their Paris flagship, which opened last year, vintage furnishings have featured prominently: wooden Traineau chairs by Victor Courtray (circa 1940), a Georges Jouve coffee table (1955), and a 1930s Michel Dufet piece anchor the space. Even temporary boutiques and showrooms have regularly included vintage items like Charlotte Perriand chairs and Pierre Jeanneret daybeds, integrating collectible furniture as part of the brand’s overall experience. Now, these pieces have evolved from interior styling to a commercial offering.
The shift toward selling furniture comes shortly after the brand introduced its homeware line at Milan Design Week—a limited collection of handwoven cashmere blankets and quilted bedding. By extending further into home furnishings, The Row effectively links its established minimalist clothing philosophy with interior design. Rather than marketing aggressively, the furniture is simply available for clients who seek out this style; prices remain unlisted, requiring direct inquiry, typical of pieces that usually command considerable sums at auction.
Adding vintage furniture to Galerie underscores The Row’s quiet evolution into a broader lifestyle brand. More pragmatic than promotional, this move invites customers to explore an understated style sensibility, encompassing more than just clothing. Without overstatement or embellishment, The Row continues to blur the lines between fashion and interiors—one curated selection at a time.
