Paris-based artist and designer Harry Nuriev, the creative behind Crosby Studios, has never played by the rules, and his exclusive new Westwing Collection is no exception. With a bold yet restrained aesthetic, Nuriev reimagines familiar forms through the lens of art, architecture, and emotion, creating a world where design is both expressive and delightfully ambiguous.
“Sometimes, something playful and uncomplicated is enough to help us escape the world.”
This philosophy pulses through every piece in the collection. Tables, mirrors, lamps, and sculptural accents are stripped to their essence; raw, honest, and unapologetically graphic. His characteristic sketched motifs and powerful silhouettes offer a kind of visual shorthand for spontaneity, turning ordinary furniture into fragments of a story.
The standout checkerboard pattern, rendered in soft white and grey, pays homage to the designer’s digital roots, a nod to the “zero point,” the blank canvas that marks the beginning of every creative journey. For Nuriev, this moment of nothingness is full of potential. It’s an invitation to see, feel, and imagine.
“I like the idea of an empty surface—where everyone decides for themselves what they see.”
In his own Paris apartment and studio, which he famously redesigns multiple times a year, transformation is more than aesthetic—it’s a mindset. The Crosby universe is fluid, ever-evolving, and now, delightfully accessible. “My vision,” Nuriev explains, “was to translate the Crosby Studios universe into something anyone could take home. A piece of our world.”
This spirit extends into GLACE, a mirror that’s a quiet provocation. Look again, and you’re not just seeing your face; you’re seeing yourself refracted through design.
Meanwhile, the CRISTAL series, a set of objects engraved with Harry’s signature hand-drawn sketches, are visual poetry etched in glass, and subtle provocations in your space.
“Beauty doesn’t follow logic. You feel it—you don’t have to touch it.”
Delia Lachance, Westwing founder, sums it up:
“By collaborating with Harry Nuriev, we’re pushing the boundaries of what Westwing can be—bold, creative, and unexpected.”
The collection, available on the market since June 23rd, blends Harry Nuriev’s radical, experimental aesthetic with Westwing’s curated and design-driven approach, featuring sculptural furniture, tactile textiles, graphic decor, and tabletop pieces. This project redefines contemporary living, making design a powerful, expressive, and yet accessible tool for expression.
The launch of the collection is accompanied by a temporary showroom in Paris (June 23 – July 4), as well as exclusive “behind-the-scenes” content from Harry Nuriev’s creative world, showcased in his Paris apartment and design studio, “Crosby Studios.” With Harry Nuriev, furniture becomes language, design becomes dialogue, and your home becomes a blank slate ready to be interpreted, reimagined, and played with.
