RL x Naiomi Glasses Asher Throw Pillow

Description

Ralph Lauren Lauren Home proudly presents the debut collection from our Artist in Residence programme, reflecting an evolved design approach with the artisans and communities that inspire us. This special collaboration with siblings Naiomi Glasses and Tyler Glasses – both seventh-generation Diné (Navajo) weavers – honours Navajo heritage and centuries-old traditions. It includes fabrics, floor coverings, textiles and decorative accessories inspired by the beauty of their homelands on Dinetah (Navajo Nation) and the weaving practice they learned from their late grandmother, the notable artist Nellie Glasses. This wool-and-cotton throw pillow was designed by Naiomi and is inspired by one of her personal weavings. It features bold stripes recalling Naiomi’s love of early Navajo Chief blankets and is centred by a four-directional cross, which, together with the number four, carries great significance in Navajo tradition as well as in other Native communities. It references the Earth’s four directions.
