Designer Lights by Bestlite

Bestlite is one of the oldest surviving designer lighting brands we represent. Founded in 1930 by Robert Dudley Best, its origins can be traced as far back as 1840 with the formation of Best & Lloyd.

Best studied as an industrial designer and travelled Europe widely. His visits to Dusseldorf made him familiar with the emerging Bauhaus movement and soon the first drafts of the prototype fitting were made. The resulting lamp was to become the first example of the Bauhaus movement in the UK and synonymous with his name.
