Exploring the many layers of human experience

Yabu Pushelberg

At the Milan International Design Week, Leolux is presenting the new Sen armchair, an expressive single-seater designed by Yabu Pushelberg, a multidisciplinary design studio with offices in Toronto and New York. A short profile of this renowned studio.

Studio

George Yabu and Glenn Pushelberg met while studying interior design at Ryerson University in Toronto. After graduation they went their separate ways, but a few years later they met again when they were both looking for studio space. They decided to share one, and in 1980 Studio Yabu Pushelberg was born. In the early years, the focus of their work was interior design, but over time and as the studio grew, many more disciplines were added.

Multidisciplinary practice

Today, Yabu Pushelberg is a design house, a multidisciplinary practice that focuses on the many layers of human experience. With offices in New York and Toronto and a team of more than a hundred creatives and professionals, the studio specializes in sensibilities spanning buildings, interiors, landscapes, lighting, furniture, objects, and graphics with a focus that goes well beyond what things look like, to how they make people feel.

Lotje van Lieshout

The stand at Salone del Mobile has been designed by art directors Kate and Joel Booy of Studio Truly Truly, under the theme 'Colouring Space'. Large paper volumes in bold colours, inspired by the work of artist Lotje van Lieshout, give the space depth and character, with minimal use of materials as a guiding principle.
