A Feel for Fashion: Harry Nuriev

A cursory survey of Harry Nuriev’s work confirms that he is constantly thinking outside the box. Whether a living room sectional upholstered entirely in denim, his home comforter of meticulously arranged boxer briefs, or an indoor gazebo covered in historical textiles for the Mobilier National, every creation reflects a mindset motivated by reimagining and recontextualising existing things. Based between New York and Paris, the founder and creative director of Crosby Studios is widely praised for an ever-shifting aesthetic that feels at once irreverent and substantive – always returning to the materiality of spaces and objects. This is why the artist, architect and furniture designer increasingly crosses over into collaborations with fashion brands – Balenciaga, Dover Street Market, Valentino to name a few. In 2023, Rizzoli published his first monograph, “How to Land in the Metaverse.”
