A Thousand Places with David Trubridge
David Trubridge has lived a thousand lives and seen a thousand places: from renovating a stone house in England to sailing around the Pacific, to teaching himself furniture making, to settling in New Zealand and becoming a world-renowned, award-winning designer.
One glance at the Coral or Kina Pendant and you see how he has distilled his life experience down to its awe-inspiring core and stretched the boundaries of traditional crafting techniques. Bamboo and pine is masterfully shaped into facsimiles of nature, extracting Trubridge’s life experiences to create elevated lighting.
Nature Extracted
Formed from natural, understated bamboo plywood and inspired by sea urchins, water shrimp, navicular, and other intricately polyhedric shapes of ocean life, every Coral, Kina, or Floral pendant immerses the user in the comfort of nature. Embrace the reassurance of warm, well-dispersed light, and the enchantment of feeling you have entered a haven at one with the environment and the charming creatures who inhabit it.
The Nikau
Harvesting its name from an indigenous New Zealand palm tree, the Nikau lamp charms with its nebulous, elongated shape that radiates a warm glow from its very heart. Emulating the formation of the palm’s leaves, the Trubridge created the Nikau with his signature bamboo shaping technique that makes it both one of a kind as well as a cohesive member of the Trubridge collection.
