Price History
Description
Designed by Robert Dudley Best and crafted by GUBI, this space-saving and versatile Bestlite BL2 Table Lamp is influenced by the Bauhaus philosophy. Inspired by the Bauhaus movement, an establishment which championed a rebellion against tradition and sought to bring simplicity to the forefront, British designer Robert Dudley Best first sketched the Bestlite design in England during 1930. Featuring clean lines and an elegant expression, the design was favoured by Winston Churchill and has since become a contemporary classic. Robert Dudley Best is now recognised as one of the great British designers of the 20th century, while the Bestlite remains an elegant testimony to his work. First produced by the manufacturing firm Best & Lloyd, founded by Best's family in 1840, Danish design firm GUBI took over the production of this iconic light and continues to manufacture it to exacting standards to this day. Requires: 1 x Max 40W E14 bulb (not included).
Our Stylist Says
I love this table lamp for its sleek, minimalist design and reflective chrome finish, which adds a modern touch to any space. It works particularly well in contemporary or industrial interiors, where its streamlined silhouette can complement clean lines and neutral palettes. When styling, consider pairing it with other polished metal accents or placing it on a wooden or monochrome side table to enhance its glossy finish. Practical tips include using it as a functional task light on a desk or bedside table, and its adjustable arm allows for targeted illumination, making it versatile for both work and relaxation areas.
