During Milan Design Week 2025, Ralph Lauren unveiled a new interpretation of American living. The brand transformed a refined space in Milan into an immersive experience that introduced the Canyon Road Collection, its latest Home offering. Through a layered narrative of form, material, and memory, the exhibition reflected Ralph Lauren’s longstanding view of design as a language of comfort and identity.
The installation created a dialogue between past and present, where imagined interiors and lived experience shaped each room. The show reasserted Ralph Lauren’s ability to use home as a storytelling platform, familiar yet evolving, grounded yet cinematic.
Canyon Road as Centerpiece
At the core of the installation stood the Canyon Road Collection, a body of work influenced by the textures, geography, and artisanal practices of the American Southwest. The collection translated Ralph Lauren’s appreciation for the quiet beauty of the West into tactile design: earth-dyed textiles, hand-finished wood pieces, ceramics, and sun-faded hues came together to form a cohesive interior vocabulary.
Furniture featured clean silhouettes softened by texture, while the upholstery and fabric-by-the-yard offerings explored layered weaves and natural palettes. Each material choice reinforced a sense of warmth and physical honesty.
Room by Room, Story by Story
The presentation unfolded through a sequence of fully realized spaces, each shaped by Ralph Lauren’s distinct lifestyle expressions, from stately Northeastern refinement to open, rugged desert living. The rooms guided visitors through an emotional and visual progression, supported by material depth: worn leather, brushed metal, glazed ceramic, and aged timber.
Subtle pattern work appeared across floor coverings, bed linens, and accessories, with repeated motifs that nodded to traditional textile practices. These elements added rhythm and continuity across furniture and decor, building a sense of balance between character and comfort.
Artist in Residence: Naiomi and Tyler Glasses
A highlight of the Canyon Road collection came through Ralph Lauren Home’s third Artist in Residence collaboration, featuring the work of Naiomi and Tyler Glasses. The creative duo brought a fresh perspective grounded in cultural knowledge, material sensitivity, and a connection to ritual.
Their contributions, rugs, fabrics, and sculptural accents, reflected craftsmanship passed through generations. The designs carried quiet references to Native American aesthetics while remaining rooted in contemporary use. Together, they brought specificity and breadth to the collection, helping it speak fluently across histories and audiences.
Rather than replicate traditional forms, the collaboration translated symbols and materials through a design lens that honored both legacy and innovation. Through this partnership, Ralph Lauren added another voice to its Home collections, one that strengthened the story being told without overpowering it.
The Home as Experience
Beyond its product showcase, the Milan exhibition functioned as a declaration of values. Ralph Lauren presented the home not just as a shelter, but as a layered space where memory, imagination, and daily routine coalesce. Textures mattered as much as shapes. The arrangement of rooms encouraged reflection as much as admiration.
In every corner, the objects spoke with purpose, each one contributing to a space meant for living, not display. This atmosphere allowed the Canyon Road collection to unfold not as a theme, but as a mood: composed, tactile, personal.
