RL x Naiomi Glasses Votive

Ralph 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 votive, designed by Naiomi, combines her passion for home décor and her love for the Diné (Navajo) way of life. It’s finely crafted from lead-free pewter and stamped with Spider Woman crosses – a reference to the creator and protector of the weaving tradition in Navajo culture – and four-directional crosses. The four-directional cross and the number four carry great significance in Navajo tradition as well as in other Native communities. They reference the Earth’s four directions and the stars.
