Lee Broom’s Public House at Milan Design Week
Public House was Lee Broom’s first solo exhibition and marked the fifth anniversary of the brand. It pulled together an almost complete range of his products – certainly more than even he had seen in one place before.
What more fitting backdrop could there be for an all-British brand than an old British boozer? The materials used for the exhibition: oak paneling, etched glass mirrors and an ornate wooden bar, were all reclaimed from pubs. In fact the atmosphere was so well constructed, on some of the rowdier nights, Lee had to remind people they weren’t actually in a pub!
I grabbed a few minutes with the man himself…
