The geometric forms and honest materials of
mid-century modern design inform many of
Robbie Llewellyn’s designs for Bert Frank.
Lines are graceful, function is celebrated, and
the beauty of the materials used is as important
as the shapes they make.
In the Shear floor lamp, strong graphic lines
are created however you arrange the arms, the
lights tilting their heads on perfectly balanced
necks. Every joint and screw becomes a thing of
delight when it’s lovingly machined from brass,
then hand-brushed. The base of the Colt table
lamp has a shallow tray machined into the solid
brass base, to cradle your favourite pen.
Function becomes its own form of decoration.
Beauty can be found in absolute simplicity
when everything has a purpose.
