I'll give that RH has some rather tempting offerings but the prices and questionable quality really turn me off.  I love Gary Friedman for his preposterous claims that make me laugh 'til I cry but, Dude! Wipe that smirk off your face! Its creepy.

Gary thinking real hard about the wheel


Let's talk about their latest discovery in the world of quantum physics. Yes, tableware.  The catalog gives us a synopsis of the creative vision and genius of Albert Einstein as a prelude to the introduction of their tableware collection. "That is the philosophy we embraced to imagine our new tableware collection. Beginning with a quest to develop the perfect plate, one that would inspire us to replace our existing ones, we reconsidered every aspect - the material, the shape, the size the weight and the glaze - developing prototype after prototype until we explored every possibility and exhausted every option."
Guess what they came up with? Round. Wow, Gary my plates are just circles how the hell did you come up with this?
" The result is our rendition of the perfect plates (we developed three shapes, round rimmed, square and coupe), made of authentic porcelain. "

Groundbreaking round plates


If you are concerned about the word "coupe" its just round with no lip.
The other bits of ridiculousness include "Objects of curiousity" Its a catalog of fake antiques   concocted by "the Reimaginists" AKA big fakers who pose with silly expressions like this...

I'd love to work there inventing the old but I have not perfected my self-important pompous duck face. I tried but I couldn't stop laughing.
You really must read the original RH snark at WTF, Restoration Hardware?
