A visual dialogue between structure and shapes, the Naviglio seating collection is made up of curved, linear and terminal elements, chaise longues, and ottomans. Synthesis is the project’s essence and starts from its name. The seating base is a riverbed that defines the space to accommodate a backrest/armrest which is as sinuous as a watercourse. As a piece of a puzzle, each shape is ergonomically designed into a single cohesive unit. The backrest section and the seating reveal a delicate balance between polygons and curved shapes, where geometry becomes softness and rigour blends with comfort. The different elements’ upholstery is made of flexible polyurethane, to welcome and correctly support the body. The choice was dictated by the object’s nature – a sofa without seat cushions. The covers are available in a wide range of fabrics and shades. The backrest back features a continuous decorative insert, providing a linear element that further emphasizes the shape’s continuity.
George Yabu and Glenn Pushelberg founded their studio in 1980 with an emphasis on interior design and have since expanded the firm into a multidisciplinary practice. With offices in New York and Toronto and a team of more than a hundred creatives and professionals, they design places and products: buildings, interiors, landscapes, lighting, furniture, objects, and graphics, with a focus that goes well beyond what things look like, to how they make people feel. The firm and founders have earned many honours, including being appointed Officers of the Order of Canada, inducted into the Interior Design Hall of Fame, and named among the world’s most influential design studios by prestigious international magazines. The studio collaborates with leading hotel and resort brands, developers, retailers, restaurateurs, manufacturers, entrepreneurs and creative individuals looking to stand apart from the crowd.
