One of my favorite design firms to come out of Toronto is Yabu Pushelberg. Despite the mouthful, they have become somewhat of a household name for retail design fans. Known for their expertise in merging high technology, unconventional materials and hand crafted art, Yabu Pushelberg is top of the design food chain. It’s not hard to see why when you look at the work they’ve done for some of the most prestigious brands in the industry.
I’m absolutely loving the textured walls on the top left image. I recently came across a very cool 3D wallpaper by Vivavi that would give a similar custom effect…but they don’t have the lovely swirls that make YP’s design look so organic. Please let me know if you come across anything closer.
I also thought that the backdrop in the center image would be relatively easy to reproduce. I’ve posted about Iceculture before – their ice curtain would create a beautiful backdrop and can be back lit using multi-colours for a striking focalpoint.
BTW – my attempt at a funny title for this post was influenced by Britney’s latest song. Err, sorry if you didn’t get it.
