Lee Broom talks at Pecha Kucha for LDF2012 [podcast]

British interior and product designer Lee Broom has has designed over 40 bar and res­taurant interiors across the UK, has won a whole bunch of awards, and The Times called him ‘The pin-up of British man­u­fac­turing’ not too long after he formed his own com­pany in 2008. So, without fur­ther ado, here is the talk with the slides that he presented at PK9:

Lee takes us through his child­hood in Birmingham, dramas at the Royal Shakespeare Company, col­lege at Central St Martin’s, having Vivienne Westwood as a mentor, undressing Kate Moss, designing bars, set­ting up his own design com­pany and exhib­iting at Milan. Whew!
