Contemporary indoor/outdoor furniture
David Trubridge is one of New Zealand's best-known designers of contemporary furniture. He has designed some very nice indoor/outdoor pieces, and we like his general philosophy.

Link: David Trubridge Design


"my ideas come from the wild places,
edges of turbulence and renewal,
where seas break on beaches and headlands,
where land and air meet on mountain ridges.

"I make forms of elemental simplicity,
as the erosion of air and water on wood and stone,
forms that speak of humanity's survival on earth,
of life's fragility and dependence,
of comfort in the ways of the past that have succoured us,
and optimism for a sustainable and enriching future.

"I work within the limits of what I have and know,
simplicity and low impact,
natural materials and processes,
leaving a delicate footprint."

Nicely said.

Wonderful
I closed my eyes after looking and reading about your work of art, it made me feel calm and at peace with the world after a terrible thing happened this afternoon. Thank you
