Design philosophy – nature as a creative impulse

David Trubridge's light objects are strongly influenced by the breathtaking landscapes of New Zealand. Whether the gentle play of light and shadow in forests, ocean waves or coral reefs - every lamp tells a story of nature and harmony.

Nachhaltigkeit & innovation – Umweltfreundliches Design mit Verantwortung

David Trubridge is a pioneer in sustainable design. His company is committed to using environmentally friendly manufacturing processes and keeping its carbon footprint as low as possible.

1. SEED SYSTEM – packaging with minimal resource consumption

A unique feature of its lights is the patented seed system:

The lights are delivered as kits - packed flat and transported to save space

This reduces transport volume by up to 95%, significantly reducing CO₂ emissions

Customers can assemble the lights themselves, creating a personal connection to the design

2. Nachhaltige Materialien & Produktion

FSC-certified bamboo wood as the main material - biodegradable and sustainably harvested

Long-lasting LED technology for energy-efficient lighting

Environmentally friendly paints and varnishes, free from harmful chemicals

100% recyclable packaging materials

Thanks to these ecological principles, the company was awarded the prestigious B Corp certification, which honors companies for social and environmental responsibility.
