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.
