By David Trubridge.
The form of our Kina light comes from the shell of a sea-urchin, which in New Zealand is called Kina by the indigenous Māori people. David saw one frozen under the Antarctic ice during a visit there in 2004. The shell had absorbed enough warmth from the sun to melt the ice around it. He used the same mathematical formula as Coral and Floral to develop the design and make one from thin plywood. Kina is widely used over dining situations as its opening allows clear light onto the dining surface. Kina has a woven language with soft rounded connections, interweaving the fine grained bamboo. The size range makes Kina an ideal choice anywhere from a small bedroom right up to a large foyer or lobby.
This pendant comes as a flat-packed kitset which needs to be assembled by the customer.
The 1400mm size is recommended for professional assembly only.
This pendant does not come with a bulb or ceiling rose.

Artistry from Nature
New Zealand/Aotearoa based David Trubridge is one of the world’s preeminent designers and a recognised leader in environmentally responsible design.
From David's beginnings as a forester and furniture maker, a deep connection to nature was built. His sea-fearing journies around the world gave him an even deeper respect for nature. With his young family in the 80's they stayed onshore in various pacific islands which gave him an awareness of living in harmony with the earth. The company is no different, every single product is the result from inspections and inspirations from mother nature. The processing and manufacturing of their designs is done as environmentally as possible.
