There's no place like (Ralph Lauren) home!

As I return home from my trip to Israel I recall a few projects I created for Ralph Lauren Home in 2003.
The first one is the Tourville canopy bed, for the Ralph Lauren Home showroom, made of yards and yards of washed linen and silk damask to create this luscious and inviting retreat.
The second is a wicker bassinet, for the opening of the Ralph Lauren Baby store on Madison Avenue, dressed with white linen and Swiss dot.
The last is a tall project that required the use of a cherry picker in order to artistically drape countless yards of washed velvet, wool sheers and linen from a 40-feet-high I-beam, for the backdrop of the Ralph Lauren Fall 2003 ready-to-wear collection. Here is the best image I found that shows a glimpse of those enormous curtains from the show that took place in Chelsea, New York on Valentine's day, 2003.
