Based in Sydney, the firm handles interior design in residential, retail and commercial spaces, and also does residential exterior design.

The volume Yabu Pushelberg features lavish photography of projects that include the Four Seasons Tokyo, Bergdorf Goodman, The Hazelton Hotel, Tiffany & Co., Lane Crawford and Louis Vuitton.
