OPPOSITES ATTRACT
Manipulated materials create unexpected luxury

Lee Broom is a wunderkind of sorts: first
as a child actor, where he was a member
of the Royal Shakespeare Company; then
in fashion-at 17, he won a competition
judged by Vivienne Westwood, who offered
him a job; and now, product design, where
his lighting fixtures and furniture pieces
manipulate sensibilities in a playful way.
"I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel, I'm
just trying to get people to look at things
differently," says the London-based designer.
Broom uses common materials like
marble (notoriously hard to mold to the
right thickness) to create the unexpected.
"There's a familiarity about the products,
so you have seen them before but not quite
in this way," he says. Tube, for instance,
resembles a fluorescent office light in

shape only: it's actually a solid piece of
Carrara marble, punctuated with ends of
brushed brass and polished by hand to look
luxurious, he explains. There's the Drunken
side table, his "postmodern art piece," which
mixes stainless steel with black and white
enamel and looks as if it will tip over but is
very sturdy, Broom says, while his recently
launched circular Acid Marble table lamp
"takes something classic and turns it on its
head," by marrying a layer of white Carrara
marble with tinted yellow glass.
His interiors-which include the
Broom suite for the Thief hotel in Oslo in

collaboration with Karina Holmen of Eske
Interior Design-are just as thoughtful
(he plans to open a company dedicated
to the practice this year), but for now, as
his firm approaches its 10th anniversary,
he is focused on his products, which are
more form than function, reveling in high
artistry and the "emotional bit of [his]
personality," he says. "I like taking opposing
things and putting them together in a way
that works." hd
