Prior to launch, Ralph Lauren furniture collections lived separately on RalphLaurenHome.com, while homegoods such as bedding, décor, and tableware appeared alongside apparel on our main site. The aim of this project was to create a single destination for Ralph Lauren Home.
before
My main role was to lead a redesign of our product description pages, from kickoff to handoff. We launched with the following goal in mind: how can we account for the needs of a home shopper, while still ensuring consistency and likeness with an existing design system that caters largely to apparel?
after
The challenge was to design a single template that could accommodate our full product assortment–including tableware, casegoods, rugs, lighting, bedding, and glassware, to name a few.
