“I think that now more than ever, people want calmness. I think that Nodi Sofa is appropriate for its time because it has an intrinsic beauty to it and it’s extremely comfortable. It has a weightiness that doesn’t feel heavy. There’s an airiness to it that makes it breathe.” Yabu Pushelberg.

George Yabu and Glenn Pushelberg have created some of the world’s most distinctive hotel, restaurant and boutique interiors. Working with Tribù, their designs include the award-winning Nodi chair and the new Elio seating collection as well as an exciting new project to be announced later this year.
Here, they share their unique design perspective and how always looking to the future keeps them inspired.

Nature’s palette is an endless source of creative inspiration at Tribù. With so many tempting shades in our material and fabric collection to choose from, we have collaborated with Belgian artist and designer Louise Mertens on a series of inspirational themed moodboards.

Caribbean Reef, for example, brings together shimmering, watery blues, while glossy leaves and dark wood create a lush look in Tropical Jungle.

The prospect of long sunlit days spent in good company is all the motivation needed to escape the routine. With Tribù’s new products and design updates, the scene is set for elegant entertaining on the terrace, soaking up nature in a leafy garden or breakfast à deux on a balcony.
Elio, our distinctive new chair collection designed by Yabu Pushelberg, has teak frames set into cocooning Tricord seats, and includes a two-seater sofa to curl up into. 

Our luxury furniture fabrics are made to be enjoyed out of doors, so we find our inspiration in the natural world. The colours of the seasons, cool green leaves, sun-baked earth and glowing skies are captured in subtle, harmonising shades.
