Coral pendant light made of bamboo - natural look, made in New Zealand The Coral pendant light consists of numerous individual bamboo veneer elements that combine to create a wonderful lampshade. Die is delivered in individual parts and detailed assembly instructions are included. This is done deliberately to minimise transport dimensions in flat packs, which make up only 3% of the volume of the assembled light. David Trubridge, the designer of this beautiful piece, was originally a shipbuilder. in 1981, he sold everything he owned, bought a sailing yacht and travelled with his family through the Caribbean to the Pacific Ocean and New Zealand. Inspired by his experiences and encounters while travelling, he began designing furniture. His objects express his way of looking at Nature and his search for original materials that reflect the simplicity of human existence. In 2001, David Trubridge presented the Body Raft rocking lounger at the Milan Fashion Fair, for which the Cappellini design studio secured the design and helped David Trubridge achieve his breakthrough. Trubridge now lives in New Zealand and runs his own design studio. As one of the most important representatives of Oko design and slow design, he has also been giving lectures worldwide since 2006 and teaches as a visiting professor at universities. The Coral pendant light is ideal for ambient and area lighting. As the bulb used remains visible through the openings in the lampshade, it is advisable to enhance the decorative appeal with a filament bulb, for example. The bamboo plywood used is a secondary product from cotton plantations; it is peeled from the tree trunk with mites, so there is little waste. The plywood is glued with formaldehyde-free glue.
