Pugil Floor Lamp

The Pugil Floor Lamp from Bert Frank is a balanced asymmetric design underlining the designer’s imaginative nature as its form takes inspiration from the similarly named, padded pole-like training weapon. For Bert Frank, the concept is crucial. The UK based designer begins with a kernel of an idea and plays with it through constant prototyping to achieve a design that combines beauty with utility. Artisans in Birmingham, UK help realize this vision as showcased in the Pugil’s highly refined brass construction. The metalworkers bring out the grippable personality of the pugil stick through a tubular framework, ordered asymmetrically for a sculptural aesthetic. Moving dynamically with the brass structure, ivory fabric shades further highlight the visual inspiration while adding an elegant contrast in their soft forms. When turned on, vessels of warm light circle the structure to produce an easy-on-the-eyes aura.

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.
