Part of the 2025 expansion of the Ami collection by Yabu Pushelberg for De Padova, the Ami Chair with Arms reinterprets the essence of a classic French chair with a fresh, contemporary sensitivity. The subtle addition of slender, integrated armrests enhances the sense of comfort and formality, making it ideal for dining areas or hospitality spaces with elevated style.
Its softly curved backrest opens gently, while the seamless transition into the armrests creates a composed and embracing profile. The seat, made of polyurethane foam, is upholstered in fabric, leather, or velvet, enriching the tactile experience without compromising the chair’s elegant lightness.
Balanced, compact, and inviting, this version of the Ami chair embodies the quiet confidence of De Padova design, infused with the poetic flair of 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.
