Technical Information
About
Navicula 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 which emits a soft upwards glow of light. 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. Navicula featured in the Grand Designs New Zealand 'Floating Beach Bach' in 2020.
Please note: Painted options of Navicula are generally cut to order with a lead time of up to 8 weeks. If you need your light urgently, please email us for current stock levels: info@davidtrubridge.com

Pauanui beach home
Case Study
This Pauanui beach home proudly displays its owners’ Polynesian heritage through well-considered architectural moves. The home features our Navicula Feature Pendant.
There is a sense of rightness, of belonging, that some houses manage to capture and this collection of pavilions on a waterfront site in Pauanui does just that. Buildings that reflect place and culture will always have this advantage.
