Always intriged by changes in the DA index, I followed the links to David Trubridge's website. I have never been impressed with his early work, but his raft series for Cappellini and the lamps that popped up in different magazines show that he has truly found his language and masters it eloquently. This is remarquable work. This might not be accessible to all, but to me it strikes that perfect balance between the effort (saving and waiting, re-considering, etc...) needed to acquire an object and the fact that the object is of such timeless quality that it is worth that effort. All leading to more meaningful and restrained consumption and more pleasure in use and preservation. This will still be around long long time after many of us (designers) will be forgotten.
Indeed.
Thanks for the hint. This is nice work. Anybody who wanted a hanging orb light fixture but didn't care for or grew tired of a Nelson bubble would perhaps enjoy one of Mr Trubridge's lacy wood globes. . .and the seatng pieces are cool. I wonder what a "Canoe" chair looks like ?

I've seen his work in flesh and am for the most part positive about it except for the hanging lamp shades, they could easily offer more diffusion or difraction with a bigger globe or a supplementary diffuser inside, when seen close up thers just a cheap tungsten bulb hanging there doing nothing.
Perhaps I'm missing something.
