Bert Frank
Bert Frank’s award-winning lights are designed and made in the UK. The story began almost a decade ago. When Adam Yeats and Robbie Llewellyn founded Bert Frank in 2013 it was a meeting of minds and the start of a collaborative creative partnership with engineering at the core.
Both men share a love of design and deep respect for the heritage of British engineering. Both wanted to create high-end products that would stand the test of time and fly in the face of throwaway consumerism. The partnership has resulted in award-winning lighting and accessories that fuse the integrity of the small-scale workshop with timeless aesthetics reimagined for today. Bert Frank designs are inspired by a desire for beautiful objects and a passion for lifestyle-enhancing design. The Bert Frank factory in Birmingham – the “City of a thousand trades” whose prosperity was built on a global reputation for manufacturing excellence – is living proof that British craftsmanship is alive and kicking. Despite the use of cutting edge, computer-aided machinery, Bert Frank lamps are very much ‘hand-made’ items produced in small numbers, often to meet a customer’s precise specifications – as near bespoke as possible.
