Ralph Lauren updates classics
By Carole Sloan -- Furniture Today, March 3, 2002
NEW YORK — Celebrating his 35th anniversary, Ralph Lauren is looking back and updating some classics for Ralph Lauren Home this spring.
Three new lifestyles represent divergent moods. Anglesey borrows from Lauren's early Thoroughbred lifestyle of manor house, rugged grandeur and furniture on a grand scale. Secretariat sets an equestrian-inspired London mood and Old Mill evokes a casual 18th century Vermont farmhouse atmosphere.
As always, the furniture spans a breadth of moods from the hand-carved bed and overscaled mahogany armoire in Anglesey, to the blanket plaid-covered chairs and campaign chests and trunks in honey colored mahogany in Secretariat, to the lighter mood of Old Mill with its split reed chairs, sofa and ottoman in whitewash or natural finish, and a cannonball bed.

| Campaign style furniture in honey-finished mahogany with brass trim and mounts sets the mood for Secretariat, a new Lauren lifestyle with classic London equestrian origins. Chairs are covered in carriage-blanket plaids with brass nailhead trim. |
