Juba is a design studio based in Montreal, founded by Nick Trudel. We make lighting and design objects shaped by material, proportion, and atmosphere.
Juba is a design studio based in Montreal, led by Nick Trudel. It approaches industrial design as a craft practice, combining exacting construction with expressive materials.
The work is guided by presence and restraint. Less interested in novelty than in how objects settle into a room, Juba develops pieces slowly, with close attention to material, proportion, and atmosphere.
TL-1 is the first product from the studio, built from a cast mineral base, machined aluminum, and a hand-formed cellulose acetate reflector. It is conceived as an indirect, reflected light source, producing a soft, warm wash with subtle variation.
