The iconic Bestlite BL4 floor lamp, designed by Robert Dudley Best in 1930, was initially adopted by workshops and the technical departments of the Royal Air Force due to its great functionality and adjustable arm. With its numerous surfaces, the timeless BL4 floor lamp is now perfect as a reading light in any modern home that you want to give your own personal touch.
An article in the Architects Journal, praising the 'Bestlite' as the first proof of the Bauhaus in Great Britain, brought the lamp to the attention of the design consciousness. Public demand for the 'Bestlite' lamps soon followed, and when Winston Churchill personally chose the Bestlite BL1 table lamp for his desk, the iconic status of the lamps was assured.
The 'Bestlite' design remains true to its industrial roots and original design. This classic lamp is in the permanent collections of the Victoria & Albert Museum and the Design Museum in London. Loved by architects, designers and design lovers throughout its long history, the 'Bestlite' has become a contemporary classic.
