Gubi Bestlite Floor Lamp BL3M - Brass Black Shade

Scandinavian brand Gubi are the treasure hunters of our generation. Based in Copenhagen's docklands, and fuelled by a passion to uncover overlooked icons from the past and future icons in the making, Gubi are a serious design force receiving international recognition for their work. The result is an eclectic, international collection that blurs the lines between the past and the future, chasing forgotten icons from the 30's to the 70's. Robert Dudley Best (1892-1984) was heir to the world's largest lighting factory founded in the UK in 1840. Best found the designs out-dated and so embarked on studying Industrial Design. Influenced by the work of Le Corbusier and Mies Van der Rohe, and the International Exhibition of Modern Design in Paris in 1925 his new vision was set. The Bauhaus movement was to form the basis of his design career. The Bestlite Collection was developed and is held in permanent collections at both London's Design Museum and the Victoria & Albert Museum.
