Bestlite

Some of the best designs come from designer while they were in their early years when it could be argued that acts of procrastination have procured some of the best modern designs out there.

Such is the story behind Bestlite. Robert Dudley Best created the original Bestlite lamp while studying to be an industrial designer in Paris and Dusseldorf, possibly while avoiding studying for exams (though we can’t confirm that). The lamp later became the first example of Bauhaus work in the United Kingdom and later garnered great fame and respect as a modern lighting fixture. Today, Gubi manufactures the lamp to the exact original specifications of Robert’s original design.

Where is Bestlite lighting manufactured?

Bestlite lighting is manufactured in multiple locations. Historically, Bestlite lighting fixtures were originally designed by Robert Dudley Best in the 1930s in England, and production initially took place in Birmingham. The company responsible for manufacturing Bestlite, Gubi, later moved production to Denmark.

Gubi, the Danish design company that owns and produces Bestlite lighting, manufactures the fixtures in a combination of in-house facilities and collaboration with select manufacturers. Gubi works with skilled craftsmen and manufacturers in Denmark and other countries to ensure the high quality and craftsmanship of Bestlite lighting products.

What is the most iconic Bestlite lamp?

The most iconic Bestlite lamp is the Bestlite BL1 Table Lamp. It is the original design that Robert Dudley Best created in 1930 and remains a timeless classic to this day. The BL1 Table Lamp features a distinctive combination of functional and aesthetic elements, including an adjustable arm and shade, as well as a clean and minimalist design.

The BL1 Table Lamp gained widespread recognition and popularity for its elegant and functional form, making it an iconic design in the world of lighting.
