Crosby Studio founder Harry Nuriev adds "signature boldness" to his New York apartment. They used bold colours, geometric shapes and eclectic materials to bring their personal styles into the residence in the city's NoLita neighbourhood.The designers, who often experiment with vibrant colours in their furniture and interior projects, added touches of violet throughout the interior. They consider ultraviolet to be the supporting colour in its design and their favourite colour at the time the violet shade is playful, optimistic, cheerful, and regal.

The residence has two floors with the living room on the lower level and bedroom set above.Crosby Studios' all-purple furniture collection includes recurring hand shapes,Purple carpeting, an armchair and shelving units are used to contrast against the grey used on the walls, couch and curtains in the lounge.Crosby Studios wanted a space that was not only elegant, but also liveable – they wanted to create a cosy sanctuary, which is why they used a warm grey as the base colour, and a vibrant purple as the supporting to give it that Crosby signature boldness.

A number of Nuriev's previous installations and collections are used to furnish the space. They include the abstractly shaped purple bookcases, shelving units and tables decorated with recurring hand shapes that he created as part of a collaboration with fashion brand Opening Ceremony.All of the furniture and fixtures used throughout the interiors were custom-built for the project, including the lighting, kitchen cabinets, dining table and bathroom vanity.

In the kitchen, the cabinets are upholstered with white vegan leather that the designers used on other elements of the design, including the gold bed headboard and silver couch.The white tilework is continued on the bedroom walls. Purple pillows and a set of circular side tables add colour to the otherwise stark interior. A small alcove set in the corner of the room creates an additional resting area.A box-like basin fits inside a cylindrical frame to form a sink vanity in the bathroom. Tapware and faucets in the bathroom and kitchen were designed with Dorf Australia.
