Yabu Pushelberg
Founded in 1980 by Ryerson University graduates, George Yabu and Glenn Pushelberg, design firm Yabu Pushelberg is now one of the most recognized design firms worldwide.
The firm’s multidisciplinary approach is informed by an endless curiosity and driven by partnerships with thoughtful, creative like-minded people. Evolving to encompass all aspects of design, each new venture reflects an edited approach that is imaginative, thoughtful and honest; continuously shifting between the rational and the intuitive.
With studios in Toronto and New York, and current projects in over 16 countries, attention to detail and a spirit of exploration remains a hallmark of the firm.
HEATH & OISEAU collection
Distilled from the spirit of early career influences, redefined by an intentive modernism, Yabu Pushelberg’s first collection for LINTELOO is made up of two distinct groups; upholstered pieces and turned wood pieces. The collection as a whole references the past with a fresh take on familiar archetypes. Refined, and evolved from their original references, the furniture is sophisticated, with a bespoke urban quality.
HEATH, a group of tailored, curvilinear upholstered pieces, includes multiple sofa and chair configurations and a pair of amorphous stone-topped coffee tables. Made up of complex curves and directions, the deep seating is precisely molded to embrace the body. Creating a perceived lightness, chairs are set atop turned wood legs placed in cardinal directions which extend up the HEATH chair’s sides, effectively framing the seat.
In contrast, OISEAU, comprised of wood-frame dining and lounge chairs accompanied by solid wood dining tables and coffee tables, represents a more rational direction. With this group, the notion of a formal dining setting is replaced by a more casual interpretation. Inviting, relaxed proportions lend themselves to an intimate dining experience, and chairs with webbed upholstered seats afford a setting where diners comfortably linger long past the end of a meal. Simple, honest materials: opaque-stained ash, leather and linen, in an earthy colour palette of dark moss, stone and flax enrich the restrained, handcrafted quality of the collection.
