Visitors fortunate sufficient to be attending this week’s Light+Creating design fair in Frankfurt will get an enlightening eyeful of David Trubridge. The New Zealand-primarily based designer will be launching two new lighting designs amidst a characteristically sumptuous booth installation anchored by a giant site-certain illuminated “tree.”Trubridge’s two new launches (pictured above) are Hush, a dome-shaped pendant light that, doubling as acoustic device, comes outfitted with sound absorbing felt panels and Belle, a gently flared shade-only creation, created to effortlessly match more than existing pendant or wall light fixtures. Each Hush and Belle are formed with signature Trubridge modules of interlocking bamboo plywood, mindfully crafted to enable for flat-pack shipping and assembly with no tools.
The new lighting offerings and a suite of new furnishings will debut at Light+Building, the world’s largest lighting fair, presented alongside a magical installation comprised of earlier David Trubridge bestsellers, like the Coral and Koura pendants, and a bespoke floor-to-ceiling tree-like canopy, painstakingly assembled and installed by the designer and his team.
