About Flax

Flax Pendant is based on the long slender leaves of the indigenous flax plant or harakeke in Maori that has long been grown for its valuable fibre. There is a Maori proverb about preserving important resources: If you cut the central stalk of the flax bush, where will the bellbird feed?

We are thrilled and delighted with our flax light fitting. The kitset arrived promptly and I enjoyed assembling it - the video was a really helpful guide. Our house is a modest 2 bedroom 1970s crib in Arrowtown. That said, we love our little nest and one of our favourite things to do is cook and share meals with friends around our beautiful bespoke dining table. Our David Trubridge pendant light just completes the experience beautifully.

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.
