A play on words, the Riddle Wall Sconce from Bert Frank is a mid-century modern inspired design delivering an eye-catching lighting effect with its hole-riddled shade. The piece began at Bert Frank as a design problem hoping to combine task lighting with a warm ambient glow. A proto-typing and engineering-based process led the UK-based designers to find that 1020 individually drilled holes in the shade produced the desired lighting effect. Birmingham craftsmen show their skill and attention to detail in the riddled pattern of the drum brass shade. Combined with a fabric insert, the shade pushes out a clean, directed light and a finely detailed ambient glow through the perforated surface. The shade adjusts up and down with a joint sitting behind a contrasting holder on top. Resting over a compact backplate, the design shows Bert Frankโs passion for lifestyle-enhancing design, fitting in tight architectural spaces.
British-based Bert Frank lighting continues to push design boundaries and meet the needs of modern interiors. The brandโs 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.
