Siri residence

Located in Karishma hills, a beautiful layout on the fringes of the Turahalli forest, the site was the perfect locale for this with its majestic teak, mango and coconut trees.

Maison Saint-Laurent

The clients have tasked the studio with a project involving the expansion of a bourgeois house dating back to 1810, alongside the restructuring of its ground floor.

One of its distinctive features is its adjacency to several auxiliary structures, including an unused outbuilding. The proposed extension of the main house is viewed as a chance to increase living space in currently cramped and dimly lit areas, while als... More

PUKKA

Offering perfect comfort, the Pukka collection is a little marvel of design, which finds its roots in the great C&B period when Gaetano Pesce presented his UP50 collection in 1969. The latter had created a collection which paid homage to the sponge, affirming that he had been fascinated by a sponge in his shower and the way in which it always sprang back into its original shape. Yabu & Pushelberg thus take up this theme, adding a feminine design, soft and organic, which fills the space with sensual comfort. The detail of the stitching, the use of ultra-flexible foams and the tension of its lines obliged us to strive for a perfect piece of upholstery. This was only possible with the use of our very stretchiest fabrics: the new Gentle... More

KASHIMA - All-foam seating

In 2023 Ligne Roset is reissuing its emblematic Kashima model.It is the «comfortable Chesterfield». Kashima designed by Michel Ducaroy offers classic customers the “English” comfort. The generous shapes of this model enable to give a reassuring image to an all-foam seat. All-foam seating, Kashima hides, under its agreeable appearance, a soft comfort in rounded and curved lines (integrated armrests, lumbar, headrest). However, this comfort doesn’t jeopardise the quality of the high-density foams that compose it. Let’s remind that the density of a foam is the only guarantee of longevity. The denser the foam is, the longer the seat will last. The buttoning is then made using invisible tie rods, placed insid... More
