Bestlite Collection

The Bestlite Collection, designed by Robert Dudley Best, has been

in continuous production since 1930. Developed at the end of the

revolutionary Bauhaus movement, the collection’s utilitarian forms

and clean lines are strongly representative of the period.

The Bestlite lamp was first adopted by garages and the Royal Air

Force engineering departments due to its functionality. A feature

in the Architects’ Journal calling the Bestlite the first evidence of

Bauhaus in Britain brought the lamp to the attention of the design-

conscious public. Retail demand for the Bestlite lamps soon followed

and, when Winston Churchill chose the BL1 Table Lamp for his desk,

Bestlite's iconic status was secured.

The Bestlite Collection is one of the most comprehensive and

hardworking lighting collections of all time, including 10 different

table lamps, floor lamps, wall lamps and pendant lamps, all of which

can be adjusted in multiple directions.
