Sustainability and perfect materials is important for the lighting company David Trubridge. The New Zealand based designer makes innovative and interesting lamps from different types of wood and is extremely focused on sustainability.

His lamps are made from clip-on joints, which is why you have to assemble the lamp yourself.

TOM ROSSAU

The self-taught designer Tom Rossau primarily uses wood to create his designs and when he in 2006 presented his TR7 lamp at Copenhagen Furniture Fair, it was selected as the Audience Choice. The TR-series holds many different lamps in different materials and colors. All of the designs from this collection works great by themselves, but if you choose to combine different models and sizes, you can create a coherent and beautiful environment of wooden light sources.

Tom Rossau has a strong sustainability focus as well, using, almost exclusively, Nordic birch wood. The light birch wood works as a lamp shade and when you turn on the lamp, the wood transforms into something warm and ambient.
