One of a quartet of sizes in the Bestlite pendant series, the midsize BL9 is a design-world icon with a timeless look and unrivaled function. Designed in 1930 by the Bauhaus-influenced British designer Robert Dudley Best, the light even resides in permanent collections at both the Victoria & Albert Museum and the Design Museum in London. Putting the focus on the industrially-rooted but very refined shade, this particular model makes a striking addition where directed light is needed, especially in a dining area.
