De Padova

Ami Chair

Part of the expanded 2025 collection designed by Yabu Pushelberg for De Padova, the Ami Chair captures the quiet elegance of the French club chair, reimagined with a contemporary sensitivity. Its compact silhouette and refined proportions make it ideal for dining settings or intimate lounge areas where design and comfort go hand in hand.

 

The gently curved backrest subtly widens, offering a sense of embrace, while the plush polyurethane foam seat ensures lasting support. Available in fabric, leather, or velvet upholstery, the Ami Chair exudes a tactile warmth that complements its sculptural form.

Minimal yet expressive, this chair reflects the poetic balance between De Padova’s measured sophistication and Yabu Pushelberg’s playful spirit — a versatile piece that elevates the experience of sitting.

“The Ami extension is easy to love: compact in size yet surprisingly comfortable. We were inspired by classic French ‘cigarette’ chairs—the curved backrest gently widens, creating an embracing effect, like a warm and welcoming hug.”

Yabu Pushelberg

« We design places and products : immersive environments, compelling destinations. George Yabu and Glenn Pushelberg founded their studio in 1980, with an accent on interior decoration. With offices in New York and Toronto and a team of more than one hundred creatives and professionals, we design buildings, interiors, landscapes, lighting systems, furniture, objects and graphics with a focus which goes well beyond what things look like, to how they make people feel. We are always looking to the future and incessantly seek new innovations, trying to create the memorable experiences of tomorrow. With an accessible, collaborative way of designing and resolving problems, we believe it is important to dream and to overcome obstacles in order to arrive at new solutions. We bring the same attention to detail to each project, from tabletop objects to the new materials, and we actively look for partners who share our passion for doing better than what was done before. For us, it’s all about designing the world we want to live in.
