Snowflake’s idea was influenced by David’s artistic residence in Antarctica in 2004.
Snowflake has a similar shape to Kina’s, but with a totally different geometry.
In 2015 he won the Red Dot Design Award for his lighting design and has since been a very popular lamp.
Snowflake is assembled from bamboo components in the shape of a snowflake embedded in a thin, taut skin. The geometry of the construction creates intricate diamond-shaped openings, allowing light to spill into mottled shadows.
Snowflake is equally effective on a dining table, a lounge, a reception or a bar. It creates impact by its scale and projected light, and is reinforced by the range of finishes.
Note: Snowflake painted options are usually cut to order with a delivery time of up to 8 weeks. If you need your lamp urgently, please email us for current stock levels.

The mastery of nature
David Trubridge Ltd was established in 1995 when David began expanding his work beyond his small-scale designer-maker business. David’s work gained recognition in 2001, establishing a model for kit-set products designed to minimize environmental footprint. The company takes pride in conducting Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) and producing Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs). David Trubridge is driven by a deeply rooted environmental philosophy that encompasses both design and production—a principle held to be even more important than profit. This ethos is demonstrated by the company's commitment to sourcing sustainable materials; whenever possible, all timber comes from sustainably managed plantations in New Zealand or the United States. The wood is left in its natural state where appropriate, using non-toxic natural oils rather than harmful solvents. From a design perspective, the products utilize the minimum amount of material and are created with a focus on longevity, rather than mimicking fast-moving trends. Shipping and freight impacts are often reduced through the use of the "Seed System."
Eco-designer: During an interview with the Smithsonian's Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, Trubridge answered the fundamental question of why he designs: "To provide cultural nourishment, to tell stories, to reach people emotionally and spiritually; objects are a vehicle for the nourishment that is so sorely lacking in the pragmatic, consumer-driven items that surround us. And the other reason I design is to recreate that vital connection with nature—something we have largely lost while living in isolated cities." David Trubridge graduated from the University of Newcastle in England in 1972 with a degree in Naval Architecture (Boat Design). While working part-time as a forester in rural Northumberland for a brief period, he taught himself furniture making. His carefully crafted designs were exhibited throughout the UK. In 1981, Trubridge and his wife Linda set sail around the world with their two young children. They sold everything they owned and bought *Hornpipe*, the yacht that would be their home for the next ten years as they sailed across the Caribbean and the Pacific. The family arrived in New Zealand in 1985. Deeply inspired by his impressions of the Pacific, Trubridge began developing furniture that maintained strong ties to the sea. His life changed dramatically with the relaunch of the "Body Raft," transforming the business from a small-scale operation into one with a significant presence in the international lighting and furniture markets. Trubridge has always been deeply passionate about the environment—a passion deepened by his time at sea. In 2004, he was selected for the Antarctica Arts Fellowship program, allowing him to spend several weeks in that remote and ecologically fragile region. It was an experience that inspired Trubridge to further pursue environmental sensitivity, both as an individual and as the driving force behind a company that continues to expand. David's designs have appeared in countless international publications—including the most influential ones—as trendsetters and examples of environmentally responsible design. In 2008, the French magazine *L'Express* named him one of the 15 best designers in the world, and in 2012, the Centre Pompidou in Paris acquired his installation *Icarus* for its permanent collection.
