Lee Broom
1976
Lee Broom is one of the UK’s leading product designers and a premium global design brand. With his
highly original collections of luxury furniture and lighting, his work is recognised and retailed around
the world. Since he founded the company in 2007, Broom has created over 100 furniture, accessory
and lighting pieces, all of which are designed, manufactured and retailed under the Lee Broom brand.
Broom has also collaborated with other leading global brands including Christian Louboutin, Mulberry,
Bergdorf Goodman and Wedgwood.
Broom’s designs can be seen in hotels, restaurants and homes across the world as well as on magazine
covers and in newspapers internationally. His designs are both unique yet familiar, taking classic styles
and reinterpreting them in new and contemporary ways with an unexpected edge.
Taking inspiration from his background in fashion design, Broom strives to embrace and explore new
themes while keeping an overarching house style. Using the highest quality materials, combined with
the latest technology, Broom constantly evolves and innovates, resulting in his signature mix of
classicism and modernity.
Having started out in theatre school, a beginning which has greatly influenced the sense of drama and
narrative that his collections create, Broom’s career took a change of direction after he won a fashion
design competition at the age of 17. This led him to meet and then go on to work for 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 commented, “Lee Broom is to
furniture what Marc Jacobs or Tom Ford are to fashion.”
Lee has won over 30 awards to date including the prestigious British Designer of the Year Award and
The Queen’s Award for Enterprise presented by Her Majesty The Queen at Buckingham Palace.
Presenting his collections each year in Milan, New York and London Design Weeks, he has gained a
reputation for creating conceptual dynamic installations which are surreal, experiential and always
unexpected.
Making design a successful global business Lee Broom’s products are retailed in over 250 stores in 50
countries alongside his own flagship showrooms in London and New York.
Lee Broom has been described by The Financial Times as “Among the most respected British
Talents”.
