BL2 Table Lamp Ø16 Black Brass/Classic White was designed by Robert Dudley Best in 1930. This is an internationally sought-after design with strong references to Bauhaus. Winston Churchill, who was once Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, chose the Bestlite BL1 table lamp for his desk at Whitehall. As the story goes, Churchill brought the lamp with him on his journeys around the world. This was Bestlite’s big break and has helped make the lamp the classic that it is today. Its minimalist yet distinctive expression makes the lamp perfectly suited for offices and creative corners. It can also be used as lighting on your nightstand or in your living room.
The Bestlite design is closely linked to its industrial roots and stays true to its original design. The lamps are on view in permanent exhibitions at the Victoria & Albert Museum and the Design Museum in London.
The Bestlite lamp has been used by many architects, designers and design enthusiasts through the years. It truly deserves its acclaim as a modern classic.
