David Trubridge

New Zealand based designer David Trubridge is a leading participant in the fight for environmental awareness and action. Trained as a naval architect and self-taught as a woodworker, David is passionate about how efficiently natural materials are consumed today. He is highly influenced by marine inhabitants and is a firm believer of green design. He created his studio out of an abandoned joinery shop in a closed meatpacking district in New Zealand. In 2007, Trubridge was honored with the Green Leaf Award for artistic excellence, presented by the Natural World Museum and the United Nations Environment Program. These awards celebrate an artist's ability to inspire and engage the public in environmental awareness and action through green design.
