Ralph Lauren Home Unveils Modern Driver Collection

— June 17, 2024 — Art & Design
Sophistication and innovation collide as Ralph Lauren Home introduced the Modern Driver Collection that draws upon inspirations taken from the auto industry, specifically, vintage cars that bespeak 'old world' elegance.

Seamlessly blending the timeless elegance of luxury automobiles with the comfort and style of contemporary design, Ralph Lauren Home has incorporated earthy tones such as chocolate and charcoal and neutral colors that are common staples in vintage cars and transmitted them into the furniture pieces it crafted. Inspired by the sleek lines, meticulous craftsmanship, and cutting-edge technology of high-performance cars, each piece in the collection is a testament to the artistry of automotive engineering translated into functional art for the home.

An example of this integration of fashion, cars, and home design is the RL-CF1 chair, created in honor of a McLaren F1 Race Car made with the same fibers contained in a race car. The Modern Driver Collection is designed to elevate spaces and although influenced by cars, the pieces redefine modern living spaces with a sense of depth that is wholeheartedly within the realm of luxury.
