Harry Nuriev (Denim furniture)
Taking it from the wardrobe to the living room, designer Harry Nuriev has reimagined the role of denim.
The New York- and Paris-based artist, architect and interior furniture designer unveiled a range of denim furniture at this year’s Carpenters Workshop Gallery in Paris (n until 31 May 2023).
Simply titled “Denim” the range includes storage and seating covered in denim, even a dining table and vanity.
“When I started my practice ten years ago, my question was what can I bring to interior design? Interior design is a symbiosis of three major creative practices: design, architecture, and art. The big one missing from this equation is fashion, which I find very surprising. Fashion is a unique means of expression and I think that furniture is an extension of our wardrobe, our style and more broadly our identity. Fashion is everywhere, it surrounds us. It’s a medium that lasts over time so let’s infuse it into design,” the designer explains.
“In the same way that you layer your jeans, T-shirts and jackets in the order you want, I want my furniture to adapt and shape itself according to the user’s wishes.”
“‘I conceived the pieces in this collection as assemblies of elements that can be dissociated. A sofa can be an armchair but also an ottoman. Each element is its own entity that, put together, constitutes a piece. I think my favourite piece is probably the ‘DJ Booth’ because it brings people together, not just in a party context but as a meeting space. And the ‘Vanity’ too.”
