About Snowflake
The idea for Snowflake was influenced by David's artist residency in Antarctica in 2004. Snowflake is a similar form to Kina, but has a totally different geometry. In 2015 it won a Red Dot Design Award for lighting design and has been a popular light since. Snowflake is assembled from snowflake shaped bamboo components clipped into a tensile, thin skin. The geometry of construction creates intricate diamond apertures, allowing light to spill out in dappled shadows. Snowflake is equally effective over a dining table, a lounge, a reception or bar. It creates impact through its scale and cast light and is enhanced further by the range of finishes.

We're in love with our Truebridge! Awesome quick delivery, easy (albeit nerve racking) to assemble, and absolutely beautiful in our new dining room. We also rang up and got good advice about light bulbs.

How do I choose a light?
Not sure which light to buy? We can give you some advice about designs and sizes. Our lights are a larger than other options on the market, and are intended to be large features. Being thin plywood, they look much smaller once they are installed too and our clients often say they'd wished they'd gone slightly bigger. Read our full FAQ section by following the arrow below.
Get Inspiration
Need a bit more help? Our main range of kitset lights come in different colours and sizes. Sometimes the options can be too hard to choose. Our inspiration gallery will hopefully clear up any doubts in your mind by offering imagery from a wide range of possible lighting situations.
