Colt LED Table Lamp by Bert Frank

Inspired by the racing grilles from British-made car classics, the Colt LED Table Lamp from Bert Frank show showcases a fusion of art and engineering in its striking, heavyweight brass construction. Bert Frank’s work captures the clean aesthetic of a bygone era while paying respect to the feel of the materials used. The UK-based designer uses brass not only to achieve crisp lines and form but to achieve a sense of permanence that comes from heavyweight materials. The Colt Table Lamp underlines this feeling with its solid machined brass construction, one made using traditional and cutting-edge machinery by artisans in Birmingham, UK. It lays over one’s table in a long, anchoring base, machined with a pen tray. An angular arm sweeps over the tray to present the head with an added touch of contrast. The head features a slotted grill design showing the engineering inspiration. An opal diffuser inside combines with the slotted design to produce a sweeping glare-free 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.
