Gubi Bestilite BL 4 floor lamp

The iconic Bestlite BL4 floor lamp, designed by Robert Dudley Best in 1930, was initially adopted by garages and the engineering departments of the Royal Air Force due to its great functionality and adjustable arm. With its numerous finishes, the timeless BL4 floor lamp is today perfectly suited as a reading light in any contemporary home where additional character is sought. An article in Architects Journal praising Bestlite with the title of the first evidence of the Bauhaus in Britain caught the attention of conscious design. Public demand for Bestlite lamps soon followed, and when Winston Churchill personally chose the Bestlite BL1 desk lamp for his desk, Bestlite's iconic status was assured. The Bestlite design remains close to its industrial roots and true to its original design. Bestlite is held in permanent collections at the Victoria & Albert Museum and the Design Museum in London. Beloved by architects, designers and design aficionados throughout its long history, today the Bestlite has become a contemporary classic.
