You don’t need to know the Danish language when stepping inside Ró to discover its name is rooted in its aesthetic: peaceful, calm and tranquil. The home shop is a wonder of expertly curated items in minimalist styles, functional lines and neutral colorways inspired by timeless Scandinavian design. Situated in Buffalo’s trendy Elmwood Village on the equally aesthetic tree-lined Elmwood Avenue, Ró is an interior design oasis that effortlessly brings together a love for travel, culture and understated luxury.

Innovative kitchenware and soft furnishings by specialty designers sit alongside covetable pieces of Danish-inspired furniture, designed and manufactured in Buffalo. Ró’s support of young local designers has lead to collaborative collections that range from contemporary dining tables, desks, lounge chairs and benches in white ash to delicate porcelain dishware and hand-dyed textiles on pillows and upholstery. A custom furniture collection is also available in-store, offering a variety of styles and finishes from Buffalo-based artisans who specialize in reclaimed and sustainable materials.

After a visit to Ró you’ll find yourself fluent in the language of contemporary Danish design, albeit with a Buffalo accent.
