Lee Broom, Fashioning Design

 

The first illustrated monograph published by Rizzoli presenting the work of British designer Lee Broom, founder of the eponymous brand and celebrated for his stylish, contemporary take on classic design products.

The book explores the many influences and ideas behind Broom’s portfolio of more than 100 products as well as highlights the way in which he showcases his work through original and engaging installations, exhibitions, and films. Lee Broom furniture, lighting, and accessories, some of which is now held in the permanent collections of cultural institutions in London and New York, is at once familiar and yet feels new—a signature skill of reinterpretation and the mix of classicism and modernity.

Rémy Martin XO Limited Edition by Lee Broom

Lee Broom has paid tribute to the iconic Rémy Martin XO glass decanter with a limited edition collaboration with the iconic Cognac house.

Lee reinterpreted teh iconic XO decanter with a distinctive edge by carving hundreds of fine ‘starburst’ cuts into the indents of its solar shape. Each cut symbolizes one of the many eaux-de-vie within the Rémy Martin XO blend. Inspired by icicles, they not only amplify the radiance and opulence of the blend, but the fabulous array of aromas revealed with the addition of a single ice cube too.

This collaboration came naturally thanks to the synergy with Rémy Martin – seamless perfection, uniqueness, heritage and craft yet still modern and contemporary.

Lee Broom launches first glassware collection exclusively at Liberty

Lee Broom launches his debut collection of glassware entitled  'Half Cut', to be sold in the UK exclusively at Liberty. 'Half Cut' intergrates the unused crystal stoppers from Broom’s Decanterlight collection which have been gathered over the years.

The decanter stoppers have been transformed into bases of the glassware for this stunning three-piece collection, serving both as a functional and decorative element for each glass. The original decanters are individually sourced from antique markets and shops throughout London making each stopper and therefore each glass entirely unique. Each stopper is polished, cut and then fused with a hand blown lead crystal vessel which forms the glass and etched on the bottom with the signature Lee Broom crest.

Lee Broom says of the new collection, “With each vintage drinks decanter that is purchased to create our Decanterlight range, there is always a crystal stopper. These little gems have been gathering dust in our warehouse for years whilst I have been considering unique ways in which to re use them. I am delighted that we can finally release this collection, which reinterprets an everyday object while infusing it with a sense of heritage and craftsmanship.”

The collection is available exclusively at Liberty from 14th November.

The Crystal Bulb Shop

LONDON DESIGN FESTIVAL

This September British designer Lee Broom will once again completely transform his East London studio during the London Design Festival for what is becoming a studio tradition. The space will be unrecognisable from the year before for this unique event entitled 'The Crystal Bulb Shop', a general store complete with sawdust floor, mahogany counter and a shopkeeper.  The Crystal Bulb Shop will be a contemporary take on a general store with a surreal twist. Old shop fittings are juxtaposed with over 200 Crystal Bulbs suspended from the ceiling. Visitors will also be given a unique insight into how the product is manufactured through a short film on the making of the bulb in the Cumbria Crystal factory.  Following the hugely successful launch of Crystal Bulb at Lee Broom’s first, Milan solo exhibition Public House at the Salone del Mobile this April, it is set to become one of the designer’s most popular products. Taking inspiration from the delicate craftsmanship of crystal cutting, the Crystal Bulb combines industrial influences with decorative qualities, transforming the everyday light bulb into an ornamental light fitting.

“Each year the London Design Festival provides a great opportunity for me to completely transform my studio and showroom. I’m particularly excited to see my vision of the Crystal Bulb Shop come to life and look forward to opening the doors to the public and design community”, Lee Broom.

The Crystal Bulb will be available to buy at the Crystal Bulb Shop for a special London Design Festival price of £90.

New Website Launch

Welcome to the new and greatly improved LeeBroom.com. In between battoning down the hatches for London Design Festival, we also found the time to redesign and curate our elegant website. Our new and more functional incarnation allows users to sort by product, links through to the blog site and has easy access to all of our product imagery. Further more, if you happen to be desperately seeking our products you will find a list of our international stockists and in the next couple of weeks you will be able to order products on-line, direct from our London studio.
