Cask Wall Sconce

Inspired by old whisky barrels, the Cask Wall Sconce from Bert Frank packs a rich visual punch in a compact yet highly refined brass construction. The piece represents the UK based designer’s philosophy of designing and manufacturing without compromise to achieve a visual and physical value that’s meant to exceed one’s lifetime. Each piece begins with a multi-step prototyping process, one that’s sped up by the skilled craftsman of the in-house manufacturing team in Birmingham. This process studies the reflections on the materials, shadowing, and light distribution. The Cask Wall Sconce achieves a balance of these elements as a crisp luster glazes its surface, and fine shadows accentuate the edges of shapes. Mounting with a compact backplate, the short drum adjustable head subtly illustrates the barrel motif in its deep shape and hand-fashioned ring accents. Through the mouth of the barrel, a clean, directed glow streams out, acting as ambient or task light.

British-based Bert Frank lighting continues to push design boundaries and meet the needs of modern interiors. The brand’s debut Shear collection of brass task, wall, and floor lamps is available in lustrous metallic finishes and infuses spaces with a stylish, mid-century modern feel. Other notable Bert Frank collections include the ultramodern Colt collection, the wet-rated Rift collection, the instantly-recognizable Riddle collection with perforated metal shades, as well as the art deco Revolve collection, which features various customizable options.
