'The timeless BL9 pendant light in black brass was designed in 1930 by Robert Dudley Best, a British designer who was heavily influenced by the Bauhaus school. It has been in continuous production since its inception and has remained true to its industrial roots and original design. Due to its high functionality, the Bestlite lamp was initially used in Royal Air Force departments. The Architects Journal described Bestlite as the first evidence of Bauhaus in Britain, drawing the attention of design enthusiasts to the lamp. Public demand for Bestlite lamps soon followed, and when Winston Churchill personally chose the Bestlite BL1 table lamp for his desk, Bestlite"'s cult status was assured. The design of Bestlite has remained true to its industrial roots and original design. The lights are on permanent display at the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Design Museum in London. The Bestlite lamp has been loved by architects, designers and design enthusiasts throughout its long history and has become a modern classic to this day'
