Toronto-based furniture design company Avenue Road, which also
has a showroom in New York, launched a new collection by George
Yabu and Glenn Pushelberg (above, right), Contract magazine’s 2002
Designer of the Year and founders of Yabu Pushelberg, a hospitality
and residential design firm with studios in both Toronto and New York.
Though the duo has designed several pieces of furniture throughout
the years, they first debuted furnishings to the U.S. market only last year.
For Avenue Road, Yabu Pushelberg has created seven
new pieces: two seating options, a freestanding mirror, and four
wall-mounted mirrors. The star of the collection is Rua Ipanema (1),
a generously curved, 42-inch-wide lounge chair inspired by the
“vivacious yet relaxed” culture of Brazil. The chair, upholstered
in a selection of leathers and linens, can be plushed-out with
coordinating throw pillows. A swiveling base wrapped with walnut
veneer allows the user to smoothly swing around and join the party.

By contrast, the design of the linear Berkeley square (2), an
upholstered armchair, draws from the finely tailored traditions of
London. Leather or linen upholstery is tucked tautly into a streamlined
polished black nickel base. The coordinating Regent street (3) mirror
rises 70 inches, making it ideal for dressing. It also features a polished
black nickel base, which angles to support the mirror face, and
incorporates a shelf of black stained oak or glass.
Rounding out Yabu Pushelberg’s Avenue Road collection—quite
literally—are four mirrors, named 25th, 26th, 27th, and 28th street (4).
These whimsical wall-mounted mirrors, which vary in dimension from
approximately 16 to 24 inches wide and 18 to 36 inches tall, hang solo
or work well in groups. —Murrye Bernard
