Founder of Crosby Studios in 2014, designer, architect and artist Harry Nuriev questions our relationship with space and objects through his bold and “transformative” aesthetic. An artist of transformation, the visionary bends the rules of design with poetic precision, making him one of the most influential voices in contemporary design today. Surprising, immersive and bold, at less than 40 years old, magnetic Harry Nuriev is never where you expect him to be!
