David Trubridge: Iconic Designer of Environmentally Responsible Lighting

Based in New Zealand, David Trubridge is a globally renowned designer and a prominent figure in environmentally responsible design. His work has been prominently featured in influential international publications, setting the stage for the 'raw sophistication' design trend. In 2008, he was recognized as one of the top 15 designers in the world by the French magazine Express.

Trubridge's journey into lighting design began with an experiment involving the creation of the sought-after coral bamboo pendant light, which involved placing a bulb within the light's structure. This initial success led to the expansion of his design repertoire, including pendant collections, floor lamps, table lamps, and wall lights. His designs are a testament to timelessness and sustainability, not only in his products but also in his packaging and shipping practices.
