Divine Inspiration by Lee Broom

Six ethereal lighting collections inspired by places of worship: Divine Inspiration is the first lighting product released from Lee Broom in four years and marks the brand’s 15th anniversary.

Known for pushing the boundaries of how we use materials and for examining the intersection between architecture. Art and design, Lee Broom presents 30 new products in multiple configurations, finishes, and unexplored materials.

These include carved oak, extruded aluminum, plaster, and Jesmonite.

The simple geometric lines of Brutalist sculpture and modernist cathedral lighting inspired Vesper.

Formed with extruded aluminum Vesper explores the delicate balance and interconnection of its rectangular cubes that are seamlessly connected by illuminated spheres.

Other lights from Divine Inspiration include cast Jesmonite ceiling lights inspired by The Pantheon in Rome, an elegant, fluted pendant in carved oak reminiscent of mid-century altars, and a brushed aluminum light with reeded glass lightbulbs.

The glass brick windows of 1970s Post-Modern churches inspired another.

Also, an ethereal series of limited-edition pieces sculpted by Broom’s hand in his London factory is part of the collection.
