Designed by Robert Dudley Best in 1930, the Bestlite BL9M Pendant is part of the UK’s unique contribution to the Bauhaus movement & is still made in Birmingham. The BL9M has a shade of powder painted steel in matt white, grey or black. The fittings can be ordered in either brass or chrome & the units have 250 cm of fabric cord in either black or white. The shade is 25 cm high & has a diameter of 21 cm. It weighs a fraction over 0.5 kg. This pendant shade looks impressive & means business – design features that would eventually influence its fascinating history. Heir to a large lighting factory in the Midlands, Best first came under the influence of Les Corbusier & Miles van der Rohe at the Paris Design Expo during a cultural visit in the late twenties. Transformed by the experience he eventually convinced his reluctant father to put his own Bauhaus influenced designs into production. The results were commercially disastrous & bankruptcy seemed inevitable – until Winston Churchill, impressed by their style & utilitarianism, installed a Bestlite in his war-time cabinet. A favourite among designers, architects & design aficionados for its remarkable pedigree & iconic, industrial style, the BL9M is on permanent display in the V&A & the Design Museum in London. Found in bars, restaurants, offices & factories all over the globe, it has a familiar, reassuring presence that is just as appealing in today’s spacious, rarified domestic environments as it is in vintage, retro-look gaffs. Invest in a piece of history with the reassurance that it is compatible with today’s energy-saving bulbs
- meaning it’s good for the planet as well as your pocket. Try a composition of three or four together in a larger room – it really does pay style dividends. It looks good & makes an interesting statement paired up with the Muller Classic Line Desk, & it’s a great choice for rooms with furniture upholstered in leather. Try it teamed up with the Gubi Adnet Circular Mirror. Dimensions: Height 250cm x diameter 21cm
