With the aim of continually improving designs and the impact product has on the environment, David Trubridge and his team recently re-designed existing models Kina, Flax and Koura to be kit-set, and as such reducing the carbon footprint substantially.
Should clients wish to receive the lights assembled, we provide that service in your location (NZ). The Koura is based on the Maori name for fresh water shrimp and reflects the shrimp in shape. In its' redesign is shining as a stunning winner for high drops or stair cases.

David Trubridge is a visionary. Unlike most of us he can translate those visions into something functional.
David's sculptural wooden furniture and lighting is a new world mix of old world skills and craftsmanship, sustainability of materials and purity combined with some high-tech genius.
All of David's pieces are immediately evident in their purpose, but within the seeming economy of material and fluid shapes resides their true functionality.
David's Coral Lamp combines repeat patterned CNC cut plywood with a hint of Escher to produce a geometrically pleasing form, both pure in design and practical in purpose.
My ideas come from the wild places, edges of turbulence and renewal, where seas break on beaches and headlands, where land and air meet on mountain ridges.
I make forms of elemental simplicity, as the erosion of air and water on wood
and stone, forms that speak of humanities survival on earth, of lifes fragility and dependence, of comfort in the ways of the past that have succoured us and optimism for a sustainable and enriching future.
