London-based designer Lee Broom has joined Dezeen Awards 2024 as a judge. Here, he selects five projects that best reflect his work.
Broom is a furniture and lighting designer, as well as the founder of the global design brand bearing his name.
Since establishing his studio, the designer has released over 150 furniture, accessory, and lighting pieces ? all designed, manufactured, and sold under the Lee Broom brand and crafted in its East London factory.
"I design for longevity"
Broom's work intertwines elements of craft and heritage within modernist designs and is often imbued with a sculptural quality that is particularly evident in the lighting pieces.
"I like to reinterpret classic designs in new and innovative ways with an unexpected edge," Broom told Dezeen. "I design for longevity with the hope that people will love and live with our products for a lifetime and beyond." "My background was in theatre and then fashion, so there is often a sense of drama in my work, particularly in my exhibitions where I like to create more of an experiential moment."
The British designer has announced a new lighting collection set to debut in New York during NYCxDesign ? his inaugural launch in the US.
