Robert Dudley Best - BL4 Floor Lamp

The Bestlite lamps were first used in the engineering department of the Royal Air Force and quickly gained attention from design-conscious individuals when Architects Journal named them the first example of Bauhaus design in the UK. Public demand rose rapidly, and when Winston Churchill personally chose the Bestlite BL1 table lamp for his desk, the lamp's iconic status was secured. The lighting design remains true to its industrial roots, referencing the original design.
