If you’re looking to give your office the fashion-forward treatment, look no further than the (unofficial) [Balenciaga logo](http://time.com/5193050/big-jacket-fashion-trend-balenciaga-memes/)\-covered furniture that debuted at Design Miami during this year’s Art Basel.

The buzzy fashion label’s near-ubiquitous label appeared on a lace-covered swivel chair, a wooden air conditioner, and an armoire disguised as a behemoth copy machine. Although the subversive pieces tout the high fashion logo of one of the most sough-after French fashion houses, this furniture set is actually the brainchild Crosby Studios founder Harry Nuriev.

In an interview with [_Garage_](https://garage.vice.com/en%5Fus/article/9k4zjd/balenciaga-office-furniture), Nuriev explained his inspiration: “I used to work in government, in parks and recreation, as an architect. And I had this super miserable office life,” he said. “And I hated it, so I was always dreaming to create something beautiful out of the printer or chair.”

Given Balenciaga’s penchant for elevating seemingly commonplace items like [the Ikea ‘Frakta’ shopping tote](http://fortune.com/2017/04/18/ikea-frakta-bag-balenciaga/) or the [humble T-shirt](http://time.com/5239126/balenciaga-plastic-bin-shirt/), this office design is a more than fitting homage. 

See Nuriev’s designs below.
