Yabu Pushelberg
Serendipitously brought together in 1980 by a
shared hunt for a studio space, George Yabu and
Glenn Pushelberg have created a globally renowned
collaborative interior architecture and design practice
driven by curiosity, experimentation and attention to
detail.
From its studios in New York and Toronto, Yabu
Pushelberg brings together innovative materials,
talented artisans and a trend-transcending approach
that has firmly established the practice as an
international creative leader, celebrated for the
personality and emotional resonance of the designs
it produces.
Tom Fereday
Vilhelm Wohlert
Tom Fereday develops products based on the principle
of honest design, conveying a design process which
celebrates the materials and manufacturing processes
behind furniture and products, to design from the
inside out. By using the materials and environment as
a positive design constraint he guides intelligent and
thoughtful design outcomes which connect with people
through natural materials, tactile finishes and unique
design. He strives to create enduring designs which are
meaningful to people and their environment.
Born in Australia, Tom Fereday grew up in England
studying at the Wimbledon School of Art before
moving to Sydney to complete an honors degree
in Industrial Design at the University of Technology
Sydney. Working across Europe and Australia, Tom
Fereday went on to found his sole practice in 2012.
A prolific architect and designer, Vilhelm Wohlert
(1920–2007) trained, and later taught, at the Royal
Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. Alongside his
work designing and restoring churches and royal castles,
he is especially celebrated for the design of the Louisiana
Museum of Modern Art in Humbaek, Denmark, to which
he and his partner Jørgen Bo devoted more than 30
years.
Wohlert’s furniture and lighting have become design
icons, thanks to the way they often employ structural
elements to create sculptural effects. He was inducted
into the Order of the Dannebrog in recognition of his
contribution to the Danish design tradition.
Space Copenhagen
Established in 2005 by Signe Bindslev Henriksen and
Peter Bundgaard Rützou, Space Copenhagen is a design
studio works across multiple disciplines from furniture,
lighting and refined objects, to art installations, art
direction and interior design for private homes, hotels
and restaurants all over the world.
We call our approach Poetic Modernism.
The ambition is to forge new paths by balancing
opposites — classic and modern, industrial and
organic, sculptural and minimal, light and shade,
duality and contrast. Curiosity as a fundamental
human condition.
The studio’s intuitive approach embodies designs that
are distinctively shaped by the given circumstances,
functional needs, and a fundamental interest in human
behavior. It is a sense of and belief in slow aesthetic that
centers quality and longevity.
