The furniture manufacturer Stellar Works has introduced three distinct capsules of seating and lounge pieces, developed in partnership with the design firm Yabu Pushelberg. Specifically tailored for commercial hospitality venues such as hotels, restaurants, and lobbies, the collections are named Charlie, Jona, and Ynez.
The collaboration between Stellar Works and Yabu Pushelberg is characterized by an aesthetic that merges sculptural form with functional intent. The furniture pieces feature elements like blended wood and upholstery transitions, linear frameworks, and curved silhouettes.
Glenn Pushelberg, Co-founder at Yabu Pushelberg, shares about the philosophy: "Every piece we design considers how we can elevate the experience of use—transforming daily rituals into something more meaningful. We also think carefully about where these pieces will live, designing them to work seamlessly in both commercial and residential settings. "
