Bert Frank is a UK-based designer lighting brand founded by Adam Yeats and Robbie Llewellyn in 2013. Both designers wanted to create products that had engineering at their core, being able to express creativity and beauty through well-made and useful products. They both believe in the integrity of British manufacturing and craftsmanship, with metalwork at the forefront of many of their lights. They are also inspired by the notion of producing beautiful, functional objects, ensuring their lighting range prioritises illumination and admiration. Bert Frank specialises in made-to-order lighting solutions that are crafted from the highest quality materials, with a focus on sustainability. The brand avoids waste by reusing waste material left over to be melted down and put into another design. Every design is manufactured in Birmingham, each block of sand-cast brass, every globe of hand-blown glass, is sculpted with obsessive care. Not mass-produced but masterfully made, one unique piece at a time
Both Yeats and Llewellyn have a start-to-finish hand in all of their creations across the lighting brand, coming up with the concept to execute the end product in a truly creative collaboration. Inspired by the geometric simplicity of Art Deco and the understated elegance of mid-century design, each piece is a conversation between eras. This has resulted in many award-winning lights, producing pendants, floor lamps, table lamps, and ceiling and wall lights that are high-end and top-quality. Bestsellers include the Bide wall light, the Colt table lamp, the Riddle pendant and the Revolve floor lamp which are all made using the best materials, sourced within Europe.
