Float bed

David Trubridge trained in Britain as a naval designer and sailed around the world before settling in New Zealand. This Float bed looks like a vessel for a safe voyage into dreamland. Trubridge’s Hastings workshop employs and trains designers and craftspeople, using sustainably-grown timber and Pacific influences to produce furniture, lighting and other products for sale worldwide.
