For his first landmark commission for the London Design Festival, Lee Broom conceives a large-scale, site-specific sculpture positioned at the entrance of the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall, to be unveiled 13th September 2025.

Designed by Lee Broom and supported and produced by Brokis and Materials Assemble, Beacon is a monumental sculptural lighting installation that both honours and reimagines the cultural and architectural language of its surroundings.

Standing as a contemporary tribute to one of London’s most historically significant public spaces, Beacon offers a powerful symbol of both the past and the future. Beacon draws inspiration from the area’s iconic Brutalist architecture and the legacy of the 1951 Festival of Britain, once heralded as a “beacon of change.” ‘Beacon’ will be on view for the duration of the London Design Festival, from 13–21 September 2025, as one of the Festival’s official Landmark Projects.
