The timeless BL9 Pendant Lamp in Black Brass/Classic White was designed in 1930 by Robert Dudley Best, a British designer heavily influenced by the Bauhaus school. It has been in continuous production from the very beginning and has remained true to its industrial roots and original design.
The Bestlite lamp was first used in the Royal Air Force departments due to its great functionality. The Architects Journal, named Bestlite as the first evidence of Bauhaus in the UK and this brought the lamp to the attention of the design conscious. Public demand for Bestlite lamps soon followed and when Winston Churchill personally chose the Bestlite BL1 Table Lamp for his desk, Bestlite's iconic status was secured.
The Bestlite design is close to its industrial roots and true to its original design. The lamps are on permanent display at both the Victoria & Albert Museum and the Design Museum in London.
The Bestlite lamp has been loved by architects, designers and design enthusiasts throughout its long history and has become a modern classic to this day.
