Belle & Beau: The Latest Lighting from David Trubridge

Lighting designer extraordinaire David Trubridge recently launched a pair of pendant lights called Belle and Beau that were developed by Marion Courtillé, a member of their design team. The designs show a new aesthetic for the brand by having less light visible from the source. Normally Trubridge’s lights have larger openings, but these lights feature overlapping elements letting just a small amount of light to escape through. Made from super thin (1mm) bamboo plywood, the lights give a warm glow to the room. Each pendant is available in two sizes (small and large) and three finishes – Natural, Caramel, and Black Stained Bamboo.

Belle tapers down to a small opening at the bottom, revealing slight openings in the wavy bamboo panels.
