David Trubridge’s Navicula light is inspired by microscopic diatoms, which live in water and produce 50% of the air we breathe. The light is crafted from strong, multi-layered bamboo plywood, creating a natural skeletal skin.
The tensile form is lit internally by an LED strip, designed to create atmosphere; Navicula emits a soft, dim glow. It is perfect as a sculptural feature light but is not suited for task lighting. Navicula is ideal for a dining table, lounge, foyer, reception or as a sculptural lighting feature.
In 2016, Navicula won a Gold Best award and in 2017 a Good Design award. The Navicula light featured in the Grand Designs New Zealand ‘Floating Beach Bach’ in 2020.
