BERT FRANK
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. The two men work closely together from concept to end product. Robbie’s imagination and occasional flights of fancy are informed by Adam’s understanding of engineering principles and fabrication techniques.
Their small but perfectly formed workshop is no 19th century throwback, however; it’s a forward-thinking, switched-on, technologically advanced factory employing highly skilled machinists and vastly experienced fabricators – people who take immense pride in their work. 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.
