Bestlite, The famous table lamp, was designed in 1930 by English designer Robert Dudley Best and has been in continuous production ever since in the Bestlite Company. Best was influenced by the Bauhaus school in Germany which merged practical crafts with the fine arts. The Bestlite lamp proved to be a great success and was proclaimed the first Bauhaus manifestation in the UK by leading British Publictaion Architects Journal. During WWII Bestlite achieved the status of a national icon when Winston Churchill had one standing on his desk.
