In our latest competition, we have teamed up with Gubi to give away a Bestlite 90th anniversary floor lamp in nickel.
Designed in 1930 by Robert Dudley Best, the Bauhaus-inspired Bestlite lamp became famous when it was chosen by Winston Churchill for his wartime desk.
To celebrate Bestlite's 90th anniversary, design brand Gubi is giving away a limited edition floor lamp in nickel with its own unique numbered certificate.

Also available as a table and wall lamp, the Bestlite anniversary collection comprises 300 pieces of each design.
Regarded as the first fully adjustable lamp, it was originally designed for diamond cutters in Birmingham's jewellery quarter, but has since been embraced by artisans worldwide. The arm's direction can be adjusted 360 degrees horizontally, whilst a sprung ball-jointed shade enables the shade to be turned both horizontally and vertically to direct the light's beam.

Each piece from the collection is finished in nickel and has a twisted cord to "create a retro feel".
The lamps also come complete with a Bestlite key, which enables the user to tighten the lamps' arms.
