THE GUEST DESIGNERS

Glenn Pushelberg and George Yabu, founders Yabu Pushelberg

‘Good hotels are an emotional experience,’ the Canadian design duo have said of their approach to work that includes a redesign for The Miami Beach Edition among a host of others. The same ‘emotional experience’ does, of course, apply to our homes, which perhaps explains what made Yabu Pushelberg and Henge such a natural fit in collaborative terms. The ‘Mushroom’ tables ( below), designed exclusively for Henge, share the same commitment to form, finish and material. ‘Like us their work is beyond minimalism,’ Pushelberg said at the time, noting that Henge’s ‘earthier approach’ to furniture design suited their own aesthetic. The result – a pair of metal coffee tables in two sizes and a variety of finishes – is both elegant and unexpected; organic in form yet highly stylised. A perfect match.
