Designer of the Year
Lee Broom
An impressive 2011 bagged this prolific young creative a British Design Award for the second year in a row.
Recipient of two British Design Awards last year, Lee Broom is proving a perennial favourite among you, our discerning readers. And with good reason: this wunderkind of London’s design scene is an unstoppably prolific creator of both furniture and interiors. In 2011 alone, he designed the personal shopping suite for Topman’s Oxford Street store, parquet floor-inspired ‘Parq Life’ furniture for UK brand Deadgood, lighting for Westfield Stratford City shopping centre in east London (pictured) and his own shop within London lifestyle store The Shop at Bluebird. True to form, ‘Salon’, Lee’s exquisite new Art Deco-meets-punk upholstered seating collection, is winningly cool. We’ve no doubt that he’ll keep dazzling us with his fun yet sophisticated ideas for many years to come.
