The collaboration between the Parisian design house and the American designer has been named “Balenciaga sofa“, and features a quirky sofa that screams out Balenciaga’s trademark colorful pattern. The sofa has been interestingly made with garment cut-offs and damaged pieces found in the Balenciaga warehouse. A single look at the sofa will make you feel like a bunch of colorful clothing has been dumped on the sofa. The way the Balenciaga logo peaks through the upcycled, transparent material is indeed remarkable.

At a time when the entire fashion industry is torn between being sustainable and producing fast fashion on a global scale, Balenciaga’s ever-growing concern about sustainability is appreciative indeed. Talking about his one-of-a-kind collaboration with Balenciaga, Nuriev said,

It is important to me to show young designers that you can work with upcycled things, you can execute it in a beautiful way, in the right shape, and with the right material.

He further said that this design collaboration aims to  “elevate utilitarian objects to arrive at something thought-provoking.”

However, this is surely not the first time that the Parisian fashion house has collaborated with the American designer. Last year as well, Nuriev created “The Office” installation for the same Design Miami. In this awe-inspiring installation, he recreated a corporate office with furniture pieces emblazoned with Balenciaga’s San Serif logo.

If you are located in or will be around Miami between December 3 and December 8, you can see this Balenciaga sofa on display at the Miami Design, Art Basel Miami Beach.

Yes, you heard it right. Harbored at 400 Alton Road, South Beach, Miami, this building is a fascinating marriage of a mansion and a luxurious yacht. Imagine wanting to party at Hawaii next weekend without having to leave the comfort of your own home? This floating mansion provides that luxury – could you ever have believed it?

Coming to the mansion itself, the house boasts of four bedrooms, four-and-a-half bathrooms, and a fully equipped kitchen apart from an open party deck for entertainment. The “walls” are built with glass to provide that aristocratic outlook. Built by Arkup, these floating mansions have been named ‘Arkup 75 Livable Yacht’. And we couldn’t have agreed better. It is indeed the most luxurious yacht you have ever seen in your life!

The best part of it all is they are provided on rent. Albeit, it goes without saying that the rents are skyrocketing. However, if you think you can afford it, there is no better to spend lavish holidays with your loved ones than on these mansion yachts. Go to the Bahamas on your private super-luxurious yacht, soak in the sun, have the best dinner with your loved ones without having to even get away from your “home” – doesn’t it sound like a piece of heaven? Take a closer look at the supremely luxurious yacht here –

Apart from partying with friends and family, this yacht also provides a great idea for an innovative honeymoon or proposal. What do you think? Do let us know about your thoughts on the yacht!
