Move to New Premises

David Trubridge Design has at last moved into its own brand new premises.  The building was designed by David to incorporate our workshop, design studio and, most exciting of all, a showroom.  We have never had this public space up until now, nor has there been a place where all our lights could be seen in one place, particularly the big showpiece ones.  In fact, there can be very few similar venues in the world where you can meet the designer and his team in their studio, see a display of the actual designs themselves, and watch the fabrication happening out the back through a glass window. 

The lights are sold in most of the great cities of the world, and have been featured in all the main international design magazines, and here they are in a sophisticated gallery in Whakatu, a tiny village in Hawkes Bay.  A prominent feature of the new space is a solid wood staircase, also designed by David, that has caused a few ripples locally.  Some of David's woodblock prints and photographs are displayed on the walls for sale.  New products such as jewellery, small boxes, carpets made by Cronz, and fabric designs developed in partnership with Hemptech are all in the pipeline and will be added in the next few months.  We have longer term plans to develop the place as a centre of innovative thought based around design workshops and community events.
