Yabu Pushelberg

George Yabu & Glenn Pushelberg are the founders of global creative design studio Yabu Pushelberg. They met on a chance encounter years after both graduated from the School of Interior Design at Toronto Metropolitan University, formerly the Ryerson Polytechnical Institute, in 1976. Their meeting led to them sharing a studio space, where they discovered their shared philosophy and aesthetics in design, which eventually led to the inception of Yabu Pushelberg.  

Since the founding of their studio, the duo has established client relationships with some of the biggest names in hospitality and fashion, including Aman, EDITION Hotels, Four Seasons, Park Hyatt, LVMH, Printemps, Bergdorf Goodman, and Tiffany & Co. They recently unveiled the interiors of Aman's first standalone residential project Aman Residences Tokyo, Bruno Mars' lounge and jazz bar at Bellagio Las Vegas, The Pinky Ring, the Raffles Sentosa Singapore all-villa resort, which opened in March 2025, as well as the JW Marriott Hotel Tokyo, The Chancery Rosewood in London and The Palace Muli in Beijing. Aside from projects, they also design furniture & lighting collections for household design brands such as Molteni&C, Man of Parts, B&B Italia, Glas Italia, Tribu, Salvatori, and more.
