Yabu & Pushelberg thus take up this theme, adding a feminine design, soft and organic, which fills the space with sensual comfort. The detail of the stitching, the use of ultra-flexible foams and the tension of its lines obliged us to strive for a perfect piece of upholstery. This was only possible with the use of our very stretchiest fabrics: the new Gentle fabric, in particular, which is a 100 % wool stretch velvet, clothes it perfectly.
Pukka
Offering perfect comfort, the Pukka collection is a little marvel of design, which finds its roots in the great C&B period when Gaetano Pesce presented his UP50 collection in 1969. The latter had created a collection which paid homage to the sponge, affirming that he had been fascinated by a sponge in his shower and the way in which it always sprang back into its original shape.

« 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.
