Description
Known by design collectors worldwide for their inspired perspectives, the Carpenters Workshop gallery keeps pushing the boundaries of collectible design. By opening Ladbroke Hall in London last September – a hybrid space combining gallery, restaurant, and concert spaces, a sculpture garden, and a performing arts venue - Carpenters Workshop envisioned a new design destination. It’s a definition that Russian designer Harry Nuriev knows well: in each of his projects, he challenges uses and transcends genres. Join us for an encounter with two key stakeholders placing design in the spotlight like never before.

Harry Nuriev
Artist, designer & founder - Crosby Studios
HARRY NURIEV is a New York and Paris-based artist, architect, furniture designer, the founder and creative director of Crosby Studios, an interior architecture and design firm launched in 2014. After opening a second branch in New York in July 2017, T: The New York Times Style Magazine heralded Nuriev as a pioneering voice in global minimalism. Across a variety of specializations ranging from architecture to interior design and designed objects, Nuriev uses transformism as a philosophical framework, which sees him taking existing objects, materials, and forms, imbuing them with novel aesthetic and material qualities, for them to transcend their habitual frames of perception. As of 2022, Nuriev is represented by Carpenters Workshop Gallery. Rizzoli will publish his first monograph, How to Land in the Metaverse, in May 2023.
Julien Lombrail
Director - Carpenters Workshop Gallery
Julien Lombrail grew up in Paris, in an artistic universe - his mother, Ingrid Donat, is an artist herself and his father an auctioneer. This laid the foundations for his decision to partner with childhood friend Loïc Le Gaillard, to open an art gallery with the intent of reshaping traditional forms of expression. In 2006, they opened Carpenters Workshop Gallery in a former carpenter’s workshop in Chelsea, London. Carpenters Workshop Gallery is actively involved in the research and production of limited edition works, which offer a symbiosis between art and design. Now with galleries in London, Paris, New York, and Los Angeles, Carpenters Workshop Gallery attracts a global audience, increasing the notoriety of its artists by exhibiting at art and design fairs around the world. Julien and Loïc laid the foundations of their gallery by establishing a close relationship with Design Academy Eindhoven, where they met and admired a new generation of innovative Dutch artists and designers, such as Maarten Baas, Sebastian Brajkovic, and Lonneke Gordijn and Ralph Nauta who now form DRIFT. These names still signify the success of the gallery today.
