Coral Pendant
The Coral Pendant (2004) is the result of two influences: the repeating patterns of ice crystals David Trubridge saw in Antarctica and the similar patterns he saw in underwater coral. Such inspirations are the norm for Trubridge, who spent years traveling and studying nature before creating his New Zealand Pendants: Kina, Coral and Koura. In addition to how they echo patterns found in nature, these pendants are created using the minimum amount of materials for maximum effect. UL listed. Bulb (not included): incandescent globe 100W/120V/E26/G25 frosted.

Trubridge wants his footprint on earth to be like a sailboat that slips through the water but leaves no trace after it has gone. The analogy is fitting for a designer who holds a degree in naval architecture and lived on a boat for four years, sailing from Britain to New Zealand, which is now his home. En route, Trubridge built entire houses of furniture for clients in the Caribbean and Tahiti. He was forced to work with limited facilities and supplies, but these experiences taught him about economy and creative design. The Coral Pendant arrives unassembled to make shipping more efficient and to reduce the amount of packing materials. Instructions for simple assembly are included and no tools are required. The Green Leaf Award celebrates an artist's ability to inspire and engage the public in environmental awareness and action.

David Trubridge
David Trubridge is a trained naval architect and self-taught woodworker who is passionate about the environment. And this passion isn’t expressed from sitting behind a desk, rather it's from being out in the world and living in extreme situations. In 1982, Trubridge and his family moved aboard their 45-foot cutter "Hornpipe" and spent the next four years exploring the Caribbean and Tahiti. Along the way, Trubridge designed and built entire houses of furniture for clients living on the islands. "Facilities and supplies were very limited and I had...
