Crosby Studios is a up-and-coming firm founded by Russian artist and architect Harry Nuriev, and for the past years, he has been working with both residential and hospitality projects, where he designs not only the interior but also all the individual furniture and art objects that go with the interiors.

Nuriev's design was inspired by his grandmother's outfits. He was always around his grandmother, tugging on her skirt. She wore these funky mismatching colors. Some were super ugly, and others were bright and quite nice. Also, architecture. Russian architecture is very grey, but in small Russian villages super vivid shades of green and pink are popular. These vintage pictures of his childhood have become his references.

Nostalgic vignettes from Nuriev's childhood in Stavropol, Russia — a city in the Northern Caucasus nestled between the Black and Caspian Seas . Sinuous shapes and the juxtaposition of rough and refined elements bring warmth to his function-first practice, while influences from contemporary art, music, film, and fashion punctuate his designs with exuberance.
