Studio

Toronto

edit

Yabu Pushelberg’s Toronto studio occupies a former food distribution center at 55 Booth Street in the east end of Toronto. The next door building, 59 Booth Street, previously housed the Avenue Road Showroom, a business partnership between George Yabu, Glenn Pushelberg, and Stephan Weishaupt. When Avenue Road relocated, Yabu Pushelberg acquired the property, joining the two buildings to create the existing 13,000 ft2 studio space. Yabu Pushelberg renovated the two properties as one open-concept studio space which now features a reception area, gallery, boardrooms, communal kitchen, accounting offices, sample library, staff lockers, washrooms, a massage room, and outdoor patio. The 59 Booth property became the studio’s 925 ft2 gallery space which displays permanent artworks from George Yabu and Glenn Pushelberg’s private art collection, including specially commissioned Yayoi Kusama pumpkin and works by Anish Kapoor, Wolfgang Tillmans, Yutaka Sone, General Idea, and Ooloosie Saila.

Yabu Pushelberg’s New York studio was established in 2001 and is home to the design house’s Brand Strategy, Lighting, Project Management, Sustainability, and Legal teams, as well as three Interior Design Teams. After a decade in Soho, the studio moved to a three-level heritage building on White Street in Tribeca. Yabu Pushelberg has renovated each level of their space which comprises the (66) gallery, studio reception, a library, specialty floor, interior design studio, meeting rooms.
