Today I share my enthusiasm and admiration for British artist Lee Broom, and his latest collection of modern, and highly unique designs that are being represented by leading UK gallery, Twentieth. Since 2007, the talented designer has “released over 75 furniture and lighting products, which he designs and manufactures under his own label. A supporter of British manufacturing techniques, Lee Broom designs and manufactures his own collections and collaborates with leading fashion brands like Christian Louboutin”.

According to Twentieth’s website, Lee Broom has worked with the legendary designer Vivienne Westwood, after which he studied for a degree in fashion design at Central St Martins. Fashion is still a great source of inspiration and The Guardian newspaper commented, “Lee Broom is to furniture what Marc Jacobs or Tom Ford are to fashion.” He has won more than 20 awards including the prestigious British Designer of the Year Award in 2012 and won the British Design Award for his renowned lighting product, the ‘Crystal Bulb’ in 2013.

In April 2015 Lee Broom received a Queen’s Award for Enterprise – the UK’s highest accolade for business success. Lee Broom has been described by The Financial Times as “among the most respected British Talents.
