Lamp Masters

The Bestlite BL7 wall lamp, designed by Robert Dudley Best in 1930, features elegant, clean lines with clear references to the Bauhaus period. With its modern look and range of colours, the Bestlite BL7 wall lamp is ideal for the hallway, as a bedside lamp or above the kitchen table. Hang them individually or pair them to create a striking light source. Bestlite lamps were first used in the Royal Air Force Engineering Department due to their high functionality. Architects’ Journal named Bestlite the first example of Bauhaus in Britain, drawing the attention of design-conscious individuals to the lamp. Public demand soon followed, and when Winston Churchill personally chose his Bestlite BL1 table lamp for his desk, the lamp’s iconic status was secured. The Bestlite design remains closely tied to its industrial roots. The lamps are on permanent display at the Victoria & Albert Museum and the Design Museum in London. Throughout their long history, Bestlite lamps have been cherished by architects, designers and design enthusiasts alike, and remain modern classics to this day.

BL7 wall light with plug by Gubi – Design: Robert Dudley Best The BL7 wall light can be used wherever there is no power cable in the wall but the light of a wall light is desired. For this purpose, the light is fitted with a plug cable for connection to a power point. The BL7 is switched on and off via a switch located directly on the wall mount. The BL7 is part of the famous Bestlite series of lights, designed as early as 1930 by the British industrial designer Robert Dudley Best (1892–1984). It captivates with its functionality and simple, elegant appearance, modelled on the Bauhaus style. The timeless metal shade is attached via a ball joint, which allows it to be rotated and swivelled. Since 2004, Gubi, a Danish manufacturer of high-quality lighting and furniture, has been producing the Bestlite lamps.
