Lee Broom to create sculptural lighting installation for LDF
(UK) – For the 23rd edition of London Design Festival (LDF), product designer Lee Broom will present a sculptural light installation in collaboration with Czech manufacturer Brokis and bespoke manufacturer Materials Assemble.
Titled Beacon, the work takes inspiration from its riverside location, using the surrounding architecture and legacy as a prompt. Made using a glass-fusing technology developed to upcycle discarded glass fragments, the installation reinterprets classic street lamps to form a structure collectively resembling a vast sculptural chandelier.
Running from 13-21 September, Broom’s sculpture will be one of many installations and exhibitions taking place across the capital, with a focus this year on design’s role in addressing contemporary global challenges.
Following the festival, components of the piece will be repurposed into individual light fixtures, extending its use and supporting sustainable design practices.
