David Trubridge Designs From WestEdge Design Fair 2014

The second set of products we want to introduce you to that we fell in love with at the WestEdge Design Fair, are the lighting fixtures by David Trubridge. The David Trubridge display was the first presentation we saw stepping into The Barkar Hangar that quickly caught our eye! The glowing lights hanging at different lengths from the ceiling looked like a magical rainforest, bright in color and form. David Trubridge designs are inspired by what he finds in nature, which is no surprise since the company is based in New Zealand, Aotearoa, in the South Pacific, where nature is all around. He then develops forms to communicate and to tell a story of what he sees in the mountains and in the wilderness. Through the design process they try to be as caring and sensitive to the environment as possible, which translates into their designs. Not only do they have lighting, but they also have furniture, jewelry, fabric, rugs, and even postcards. Get ready to see the brilliant lighting fixtures displayed at the WestEdge Design Fair below! 

Display: The David Trubridge display was full of color and form. The wide open space welcomed visitors to walk through and interact with the light fixtures up close.  

Lighting: The David Trubridge company brings unique shapes and colors into each design like nothing we’ve ever seen before!

 

The pure white circular shaped light is called the Coral.

Each connecting piece connects together making

coral like design that is inspired by the many coral

structures David has seen when snorkeling over reefs. 

The mushroom shaped light is called Beau and would

look lovely in a child’s room or nursery!

 

The tear drop shaped light is called Belle. This charming light

would go perfectly over your dining room table

extending at different lengths.  

 

This light is called the Hush Acoustic Light and is

made out of 65% postconsumer recycled material. This light

also acts as a “cone of silence” creating an intimate zone when

standing or sitting underneath. This light installation would go great

in a modern library or in an office quiet work room.
