Description
Designed by Robert Dudley Best in 1930, the BL1 Table Lamp is an enduring symbol of the Bauhaus movement. Loved by architects and designers for over 90 years, the lamp was even chosen by Winston Churchill for his desk in the Whitehall. Beautiful and functional, the arm can bend, pivot and slide along the pole to adjust the height. The shade can also be moved to emit a warm glow in any direction. Finished with a chrome base, this lamp fits seamlessly into mid-century interiors.
Our Stylist Says
I love this lamp for its timeless, industrial-inspired design that adds a touch of sophistication to various interiors. The chrome finish ensures it suits contemporary spaces but also works well in minimalist, Scandinavian, or even vintage-inspired schemes. Its adjustable arm and sleek profile make it practical for task lighting on desks or side tables, while the polished chrome brings a crisp, reflective quality to the décor. For styling tips, consider pairing it with neutral tones or colour accents for contrast, and place it where its sculptural form can be appreciated - such as on a bedside table or a statement desk. Its clean lines make it versatile, so it can effortlessly elevate both modern and eclectic interiors.

About Heal's
Explore from Heal's. Founded in 1810, Heal's are an iconic brand with a history of innovation, and are synonymous with timeless elegance and exceptional design.
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
