The GUBI Bestlite BL1 Table Lamp is a design synonymous with the cross pollination of European modernism in the first half of the 20th century. Designed in 1930 by Robert Dudley Best of England, the task lamp features superbly crafted metal, smoothed and shaped according to the German Bauhaus school of thought which combines fine arts with craft. The practicality of the simple shade is refined by sophisticated joints and metal finishes, embodying the spirit of the era which marked an important chapter in modernism.
