Inspired by underwater coral reefs and classical geometric polyhedra, the Coral Collection by New Zealand designer David Trubridge represents a benchmark in biophilic lighting design. Built around a single repeated component fastened 60 times, the open latticework shade acts as a sculptural focal point by day and projects dramatic shadow patterns across surrounding walls at night. Crafted with sustainability at its core, this iconic pendant series brings organic warmth and environmental consciousness to dining rooms, stairwells, living spaces, and commercial lobbies.
