There is a new wind of “global minimalism” sweeping through the architecture scene these past few years, a trend that has found its rock star in Harry Nuriev, a 36-year old Russia native who blends Bauhaus, 80s pastels and Scandinavian simplicity into one big, Instagram-loving mash up. His distinctive approach to colour and his love of cultural references from both East and West have turned the architect and designer into a singular success story. A master of monochromatic minimalism, his democratic approach to design has even led him to create accessible deco objects he calls “tiny architecture”. In 2014, after six years at Moscow’s Architectural Institute, Nuriev set up shop right there and then, founding Crosby Studios in the Russian capital. The name, as he tells us in a recent communication with Yatzer, came about spontaneously, on a post-grad trip to America: “I’m bad at naming things. Right before I started my firm I was walking between Crosby and Mercer Streets and thought to myself ‘Crosby sounds sexy’ and so I decided to name my firm after it.” Only two years down the road, he successfully debuted his first collection during New York Design Week and moved his practice to Williamsburg. “Nowadays our clients are all over the world”, he says. “I don’t understand how the location of an office can resonate with a physical office. Good design is good design and bad design is bad design”.
在过去的几年里，一股“全球极简主义”的新风席卷了建筑界，这股潮流在哈里·努里耶夫 (HarryNuriev) 找到了它的摇滚明星，哈里·努里耶夫 (HarryNuriev) 是一名 36 岁的俄罗斯人，他将 80 年代的鲍豪斯 (Bauhaus)、80 年代的色彩和斯堪的纳维亚他独特的色彩方法和对东西方文化借鉴的热爱，使这位建筑师和设计师成为了一个独特的成功故事。他是一位单色极简主义大师，他的民主设计方法甚至导致他创造了他称之为“小建筑”的无障碍装饰物品。2014 年，在莫斯科建筑研究所工作了六年之后，努里耶夫就在那里开了一家店，然后在俄罗斯首都克罗斯比工作室 (Crosby Studio) 成立了这家工作室。正如他在最近与亚茨尔的一次交流中告诉我们的那样，这个名字是在一次研究生美国之旅中自发出现的：“我不善于命名事物。就在我开始我的公司之前，我在克罗斯比和默瑟街之间散步，心里想‘克罗斯比听起来很性感’，所以我决定用它来命名我的公司。“仅仅两年后，他就成功地在纽约设计周期间首次推出了他的第一批收藏品，并将他的作品搬到了威廉斯堡。他表示：“如今，我们的客户遍布全球。”他说：“我不明白办公室的位置如何能与实体办公室产生共鸣。好的设计就是好的设计，差的设计就是差的设计“。

Speaking of offices, Last December, The Office, his installation at Art Basel Miami became an instant hit, proclaiming Nuriev’s love for cultural and fashion connotations. Among other office staples, it featured a wooden air conditioner carrying the Balenciaga logo, while a swivel chair totally covered in lace, echoed his childhood memories of growing up in Stravropol in the North Caucasus. “Everyone is always so curious about how my culture is referenced in my work. For me it’s just my memories”, he tells us. Growing up in 1990s Russia, the brands he fetishized are the same ones he now partners with for special projects, like Nike and Balenciaga. “As a kid that came from nothing, of course, I was obsessed with these brands”, he says. But a creative mind like his would not remain astounded for long: “When I was able to afford them I realized that who you are is more important than what you wear and clothes will never make you happy. For me, clients are all the same. I work with people - not brands, no matter the title or the name on the business card”.
谈到办公室，去年 12 月，他在迈阿密巴塞尔艺术馆的办公设施立即走红，宣告了努里耶夫对文化和时尚内涵的热爱。在其他办公用品中，它的特色是一台带有巴黎世家标志的木制空调，而一张完全覆盖着花边的旋转椅，与他童年时期在北高加索斯特拉夫罗波尔长大的回忆如出一辙。“每个人都很好奇我的文化在我的作品中是如何被引用的。对我来说，这只是我的记忆“，他告诉我们。成长于 20 世纪 90 年代的俄罗斯，他崇拜的品牌和他现在为特别项目合作的品牌是一样的，比如耐克 (Nike) 和巴黎世家 (Balenciaga)。他说：“当然，当我还是个从无到有的孩子时，我对这些品牌很着迷。”但像他这样有创造力的头脑不会长久地感到惊讶：“当我买得起它们时，我意识到，你是谁比你穿什么更重要，衣服永远不会让你快乐。对我来说，客户是一样的。我和人一起工作-- 而不是品牌，无论是名片上的头衔还是名字“。

For Nuriev, the nineties with their affluent international influences suddenly flooding the former Soviet Union, was a blessing. “I was lucky to be brought up in this period of history, it is an endless inspiration of design, colour and most important the philosophy of most of my projects”. We wonder what and whom he chose to hang on the walls of his childhood bedroom, only to discover that his inspiration comes from further within: “I had no bedroom as a kid. I come from a big family and we lived in a one-room apartment, so I didn’t have any room for a poster. I didn’t have any famous role models growing up, just people I looked up to around me - real people like the mailman or local cafe worker. I gain inspiration from my childhood, like the park I used to walk in with my father and the schoolyard I played in as a child”.
对努里耶夫来说，90 年代，他们富有的国际影响力突然淹没了前苏联，这是一件好事。我很幸运能在这段历史中成长起来，这是对设计、色彩以及最重要的是我大部分作品的理念的无限启发。我们想知道他选择了什么和谁挂在他童年卧室的墙上，却发现他的灵感来自更远的内心：“我小时候没有卧室。我来自一个大家庭，我们住在一间只有一个房间的公寓里，所以我没有任何空间来贴海报。在成长过程中，我没有任何著名的榜样，只有我所尊敬的人-- 像邮递员或当地咖啡馆工人这样的真正的人。我从我的童年中得到灵感，就像我过去和父亲一起走进的公园，和小时候在学校里玩耍的院子一样“。

A self-proclaimed “monogamist” when it comes to colour (“I’m a monogamist in all parts of my life” he tells Yatzer), his devotion has shifted from pink to royal blue (his New York apartment is practically bathed in these two colours), leading to today, with gray being his new infatuation as he confesses to Yatzer.
Using colour as a reference is one of his favorite playgrounds, as obviously stated in almost all his architectural work, including Pink Mama in Moscow, a restaurant we recently featured.
Young, fresh and talented, Nuriev is part of the so-called Russian renaissance - a group of creatives taking centre stage and making their mark in fashion and design, after years of simply looking to the West, like fashion designer Gosha Rubchinskiy and Demna Gvasalia, creative director of Balenciaga and head designer of Vetements.
“It feels good!” says Nuriev, who wraps up our discussion by stating the one single thing he would like to be remembered for: “I want to produce and direct a movie one day and I want everyone to remember me by this”.
年轻、新鲜和有天赋的 Nuriev 是所谓的俄罗斯文艺复兴时期的一部分---一群创意中心阶段的创意团队，并在时尚和设计上做了自己的标记，经过多年的简单考察，比如时尚设计师 GoshaRubchinskiy 和 DemnaGvasia，Balencyaga 的创意总监和 VeTements 的首席设计师。“感觉很好！”说，Nuriev，谁将我们的讨论通过说明他想要被记住的一件事：“我想在一天内制作和引导一部电影我想让每个人都记住我”。
