"But mostly I craved the bedrooms, specifically the four-poster beds, where I would brush out the braids of my many sisters after the Netherfield ball. There was such a sense of dignity to the four-poster bed, such elegance. It was a world of its own, in which you could pile on and gossip and sleep beautifully, long locks stretched across a pillow."
"Its centerpiece: a four-poster canopy bed pieced together with 120 recycled shirts sewn together, logos like FIFA and Levi's peeking out between the folds. "I bring in things from different environments that don't belong to interior design and try to place them in a decorative way," explains Crosby Studios' Harry Nuriev, who credits Marcel Duchamp, the leader of the Dada movement, as his biggest teacher."
Childhood fantasies centered on Regency bedrooms and four-poster beds imagined for gossiping and elegant sleep. Adulthood introduced university twin mattresses and minimalist interiors—white-washed renovations, ash wood, open floor plans—that rendered velvet drapery and canopy beds obsolete. Designers have begun reviving romantic, maximalist bedroom elements. Crosby Studios created a four-poster canopy woven from 120 recycled shirts with logos peeking through, transforming fast-fashion detritus into a luxury symbol. Harry Nuriev cites Marcel Duchamp’s Dada provocations as influence. The canopy’s playful subversion critiques global capitalism and elevates discarded objects into decorative, politically charged artworks.
