ALL IS SOUND. ALL IS TRANSFORMATION AT 032C WORKSHOP BERLIN<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Telekom Electronic Beats and <\/span>Berlin<\/a>-based media and fashion company 032c, the two have joined forces to present \u2018All is Sound. All is Transformation<\/span>,<\/span>\u2019 a pop-up installation by artist and designer <\/span>Harry Nuriev of Crosby Studios<\/a>.<\/span> On view from July 1\u20138, 2025 at 032c Workshop in Berlin, the work reflects on the materiality of music<\/span> through a sculptural intervention that blurs the lines between archive, club culture, and social <\/span>sculpture<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

At the core of Nuriev\u2019s <\/span>installation<\/a> is a <\/span>stainless steel<\/a> structure, displaying sequentially arranged CDs \u2014 a nod to the now-obsolete format and the spaces where music was once physically discovered. A CD player and repurposed car <\/span>speakers<\/a> are integrated into the work, activating it as a listening station. Complementing the installation, a limited capsule collection designed by 032c Creative Director Maria Koch further extends the project\u2019s themes. designboom was invited to join Harry Nuriev and Maria Koch for a listening session inside the installation, where we talked about the depth of curated listening and how the energy of rave culture continues to shape their creative work.<\/span><\/p>\n

IN CONSERVATION WITH HARRY NURIEV AND MARIA KOCH<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

designboom (DB): This installation celebrates the 25th anniversary of Telekom Electronic Beats and 032c. Maria, could you take us back to the beginning of 032c and how it evolved into the brand it is today?<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Maria Koch (MK): 032c began as a gallery space my husband opened with friends. To promote what was meant to be a digital magazine, he decided to print its first issue \u2014 and that\u2019s how 032c was born. When we met, we started working together and launched the simplest thing you could imagine: a bootleg T-shirt for a Sade concert. The shirt became a huge success \u2014 even Sade\u2019s team reached out because they loved it. That moment set everything in motion and brought us to where we are now.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

DB: Harry, could you tell us about your connection to the brand, and then walk us through the concept and key elements of this installation, giving us insight into what visitors are about to experience?<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Harry Nuriev (HN): 032c was always my, I would say, \u2018coffee table book\u2019 \u2014 my favorite magazine for many reasons, but mainly because it was ahead of the curve. It was the first magazine that didn\u2019t just publish content but built a real community around itself, and that idea of community has always been central to my work.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

So this installation is a three-way collaboration between Electronic Beats, 032c, and myself. We\u2019ve worked together before, and I hope it won\u2019t be the last time. The concept here is very simple: I wanted to create a space where people feel compelled to put their phones down. The installation turns the table into a physical desktop \u2014 a literal playlist \u2014 where visitors can pick up a CD and play it.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

DB: The installation prominently features CDs, a medium that feels very nostalgic. In an age dominated by digital music, what is your core intention behind highlighting this \u201cnearly obsolete medium,\u201d and how does it speak to the concept of transformation and the curated experience?<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

HN: The beauty of curating a CD library today lies in the limitations. You\u2019re working with an existing archive, and that restricts your options \u2014 but in a way that\u2019s freeing. It reconnects you with original, culture-defining music. Since the selection reflects a specific era and place \u2014 like Berlin, in this case \u2014 it forces a kind of localized curation. You don\u2019t have unlimited access like you would on your phone. And that\u2019s the interesting part: we\u2019ve come full circle to appreciating the value of being limited.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

MK: What\u2019s fascinating is that, unlike the endless options on your iPhone, this physical selection really makes you focus. Even if you want to listen to something else, you can\u2019t \u2014 so you end up going deeper into what\u2019s available. You hear tracks again, discover new layers, and engage more thoughtfully. That\u2019s the strength of this kind of curation: it\u2019s slower, more intentional, and opens you up to a completely different experience. It\u2019s not fast or flashy \u2014 and that\u2019s exactly what makes it so compelling.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

DB: Maria, when you first reached out to Harry, what was it about his artistic vision and approach that made you feel he was the perfect artist to create this installation for 032c x Electronic Beats?<\/p>\n

MK: There were a few reasons I reached out to Harry. The first was when I saw this <\/span>stainless steel restaurant installation he designed in Paris<\/a> \u2014 with everything from the plates to the dishwasher setup made from stainless steel. I was so impressed, I immediately wanted to collaborate with him on my first project. Timing didn\u2019t work out then because I contacted him too late, but that was the initial connection. Since then, we\u2019ve worked together on other things. For this project, the link came through Electronic Beats, who knew we already had a creative relationship.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

DB: Harry, on your side, what specifically attracted you to this opportunity, and how did their vision resonate with your own creative interests?<\/p>\n

HN: Where do I even start? The magazine is a cultural icon, and Maria\u2019s creative and fashion direction constantly pushes my boundaries. I\u2019ve known about the 032c family for a long time and when Maria calls, you just don\u2019t say no.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

DB: Maria, can you tell us about the inspiration behind the capsule collection, and how does it tie together with the theme of sound and transformation that runs through this anniversary project?<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

MK: The collection is a capsule of just three pieces \u2014 a cap, a bag, and a shirt. The idea is simple but deeply emotional for me. I was a real rave kid and partied hard, especially close to the music of The Prodigy. There\u2019s one song, \u201cNo Good,\u201d with a music video that stuck with me. Back then, music videos were everything \u2014 I hardly listened to the radio and watched videos all day. In this one, the band walks through a chalky, dusty bunker, mixing punk outfits with some bling. The energy was incredible. I wanted to capture that feeling, that chalky, dusty vibe, as a visual memory on the garments \u2014 chalk on the bag, on the cap, on the shirt. When we shared this with Harry, he immediately connected with the idea and brought The Prodigy\u2019s spirit to life in the design.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

DB: Harry, Maria mentioned she was a \u201cclassic rave kid.\u201d Do you share the same passion for rave culture or do you find a similar resonance with specific music genres that influence your work?<\/p>\n

HN: Absolutely. I\u2019m not really into vinyl \u2014 it\u2019s a cool format, but it wasn\u2019t part of my personal experience growing up. That was more my parents\u2019 thing. For me, CDs have the same role as vinyl does for others. I really want to keep that in my life. Honestly, I was just thinking I want to recreate the same table setup at home, invite my friends over, and listen to music together \u2014 even if it\u2019s on some crappy car speakers that actually sound pretty good.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

MK: Techno was really the last truly innovative youth culture in music. I remember it feeling so brave, wild, and somewhat untamed. It wasn\u2019t dangerous, but it was like these hidden clubs where we all went. Even though my parents were open-minded and smart, they couldn\u2019t really understand what we were into or what we were listening to. I think that energy of being different, being out of reach from the conventional \u2014 that\u2019s what made that electronic scene so beautiful to me back then.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

DB: What is the most important message or feeling you hope visitors take away from stepping into this experience?<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

NH: Put your phone down.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

MK:\u00a0 I would just say the same \u2014 put your phone down and give yourself the chance to listen again, and again, to a song. Honestly, I still do this. I love listening to a favorite track 10 or 12 times a day. Everyone around me gets annoyed, but I just want to be fully immersed. It\u2019s intense. Even if it\u2019s like elevator music, then I discover something new \u2014 another drum, another layer, another scenario.<\/span><\/p>\n
