David Trubridge, a transplant from the north of England to New Zealand, has been making unique, eco-friendly lighting since 2003. Because the company is based in New Zealand, their remote location has necessitated creative solutions to distance and freight issues and they have developed "kitset" products to address these problems. Lights come ready to assemble.

"To provide cultural nourishment, to tell stories, to reach people emotionally and spiritually...I design to recreate that vital connection to nature that we have lost so much, living in insulated cities." - David Trubridge

Sustainability is a prime focus of David Trubridge. When a company says it is 100% sustainable, carbon neutral or green, David is concerned about "green washing". By manufacturing all their products in their own factory they can control all processes. How the operations impact on the environment is intertwined with how David Trubridge designs and make decisions.
