The BL3 by Bestlite is a handy lamp with the rough charm of a true Bauhaus classic. BL3 transmits the functional design of the BL series on a floor lamp that meets the highest demands in terms of form and function.

The BL3 floor lamp can be adjusted in height stagelessly, it’s rotatable and traversable and therefore it is able to light every corner of a room optimally.

The lamp shade can be brought in almost any position. A heavy floor plate ensures a secure and firm stand.

When Robert Dudley Best designed the lamps of the BL series in the 1930s they were revolutionary simple and of unusually clear and functional forms. They are still regarded as examples of classic Bauhaus design. This has been enforced by the British designers close contacts to Dessau, Weimar and Berlin, which were the centres of the Bauhaus movement back then.

Even the British premier Winston Churchill had a BL1 lamp standing on his desk in Whitehall and many architects and designers made some great designs under its light.

The BL3 floor lamp by Bestlite is also available in crème white and white.
