Harry Nuriev's art of functionality: the denim furniture collection

With his denim exhibition, Harry Nuriev presents a unique concept that forms a symbiosis of art, design and fashion. As an artist, architect and interior designer, he has set himself the task in this exhibition of elevating denim to a new dimension and giving everyday objects a new function and meaning.

The exhibition at the renowned Carpenters Workshop Gallery in Paris is a collection of modular furniture pieces, all upholstered in denim. The collection includes various types of seating, tables, shelves and other items that represent a unique combination of fashion and design.

Nuriev emphasizes that fashion is a medium of expression and that furniture can be an extension of our wardrobe, style and identity. "Fashion is everywhere, it surrounds us. It's a medium that exists over time, so let's incorporate it into design," says the artist.

The denim furniture collection is not only a work of art, but also functional and flexible. The modular nature of the pieces allows them to be used in different types of spaces. A sofa can quickly be transformed into an armchair or stool. "Each element is its own entity that forms a piece together," Nuriev explains.

The "Sofa Pool" collection, which consists of a table and a sofa, is another highlight of the exhibition. The set makes it possible to eat and rest comfortably without disturbing the flow of conversation. In addition, there are other pieces such as the "DJ Booth", which brings people together and can function not only in a party context but also as a meeting space.

Harry Nuriev's installation is a visual and aesthetic experience that invites visitors to look at and discover everyday objects in a new perspective. The exhibition is open from March 4 to May 13, 2023 and offers a unique opportunity to experience the connection between art, design and fashion.

Harry Nuriev is an artist, architect and interior designer born in 1984. Based in both New York and Paris, he is the founder and creative director of Crosby Studios, an interior architecture and design studio he launched in 2014. With a creative practice that spans immersive environments, virtual installations, public spaces and object design, he has coined the term "transformism" to describe the prioritization of transformation and transformative experiences that take place around him to describe his world and style. He draws his inspiration from the unexpected beauty of everyday objects that we interact with and uses them in his work to make extraordinary statements about contemporary society. His style fuses art, design, architecture and fashion, breaking the traditional boundaries of these four creative fields to challenge broader ideas about how we live and work. In doing so, he takes people out of their comfort zone and draws their attention to things he feels are important. He enjoys experimenting with the design of innovative retail spaces and Web3 in the digital realm.
