MHL are proud to announce that they are South Island stockist for the David Trubridge range of lighting. The renowned New Zealand-based artist designs furniture, lighting and home accessories that are not only aesthetically beautiful, but also environmentally mindful. Using only sustainably grown and treated bamboo and plywood for his innovative and unique pieces, David Trubridge creates pieces with a delicate footprint, that are formed of elemental simplicity, that speak of humanity's survival on earth, of life's fragility and optimism for a sustainable and enriching future.
This philosophy is reflected in his lighting designs. All fittings are made using sustainable materials from managed plantations either in Australia, NZ or USA -- no rainforest timber and all pieces are designed to use the minimum amount of material for the maximum amount of effect. Oil finishes are natural, the electricity used in construction is from renewable methods, designs are flat-packed for low energy freighting and are instant classics in design, being intended to last.
David Trubridge is a visionary. Unlike most of us he can translate those visions into something functional. David's sculptural wooden furniture and lighting is a new world mix of old world skills and craftsmanship, sustainability of materials and purity combined with some high-tech genius. All of David's pieces are immediately evident in their purpose, but within the seeming economy of material and fluid shapes resides their true functionality.
David's Coral Lamp combines repeat patterned CNC cut plywood with a hint of Escher to produce a geometrically pleasing form, both pure in design and practical in purpose.
All of this means that MHL can now bring you beautiful quality designer light fittings that won’t cost you or the earth a lot. These iconic fittings with loops and intricate cutout patterns are on display now at our website. Trubridge’s new season’s catalogue is coming soon ... give us a call or email and we will send you the catalogue once released.
