Description
Designed by Robert Dudley Best in 1930, the BL5 Wall Light looks as timeless today as it did almost a century ago. With clean lines and a graceful arc, this Bauhaus-inspired wall light looks great in bedrooms, kitchens and hallways alike. The lamp has a height-adjustable arm, with a shade that can be rotated to light even the gloomiest corners. Casting a soft diffused light, this lamp also works wonderfully as a reading light.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Gubi Bestlite wall lamp for its timeless design and versatility. The brass base with black shade makes it a sophisticated choice that works beautifully in both modern and classic interiors. It’s ideal for creating focused task lighting in areas like reading corners or bedrooms, but also works well in hallways or over desks where a sleek, adjustable light source is needed. Styled well, it can complement a minimalist aesthetic or add a statement element to more eclectic schemes. Practical tip: use it with a dimmer switch to adjust the lighting mood easily, and consider pairing it with other brass or black accessories for a cohesive look.

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.
