DESIGN :: SEED by David Trubridge in Tortona at #Salone #Milan delivers an environmentally responsible solution where 40 boxes of flat-packed pendants now replace the single lighting box that was the former incarnation that was used to transport the product.  The foyer of the Tortona based installation presided over by the largest of the family, a beautiful illuminated sculpture. From David Trubridge.com on the collection :

‘Why fill a truck with one tree, when the cost to the Earth is reduced by boxing a packing boxes ins seed? You receive the seed of a light shade, & have fun & satisfaction making it grow yourself. Your tree fills the space, the patterns of its leaves calm  with their shade. It nourishes with its fruit, & keeps the balance of life.  The idea ripples out & spreads to the world, which becomes a brighter place.’ David Trubridge
