Fashionable furniture collectors, take note! A Balenciaga clothes-filled couch hits ArtBasel Miami Beach.
Fashionable furniture collectors, take note: Russian-born, New York-based designer Harry Nuriev—known for his smart, Instagrammable interiors —has made use of Balenciaga discards in the form of a large sofa that will debut at this upcoming Design Miami. The colorful couch, which took two months to create, is an official collaboration between the brand and Nuriev.
The clothing-packed couch comes after Nuriev created a Balenciaga-themed office space for Design Miami 2018: a warped workplace reality that included a desk chair covered in white fabric with traditional Russian embroidery. Like much of Nuriev’s style and the design ethos of Demna Gvasalia-era Balenciaga, the sofa has a slick chic that dips into ’. But its glossy plastic overlay is not your grandmother’s couch cover: It is scrapped transparent vinyl.
Nuriev’s creation coincides with a moment when luxury and fast fashion brands are questioning how they dispose of their unsold clothing. It is refreshing to see an artist reinterpreting unworn, unwearable-by-retail-standards clothing into a different concept, specifically home furnishing. The designer hopes that his concept will translate to other designers, too.
