Comment: Reviews section needs to be redone into prose to be more like a Reception section for films. The list of quotes reads like an advertisement that you find on the back covers of books. List the critic and their media e.g. Trish Broom of The Guardian compared Broom to being what Marc Jacobs or Tom Ford are to fashion design. Add links to Westwood and other notables. Also needs to expand on what kind of furniture he does, to mix in with the Reception. What is Jasperware? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:25, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
- Comment: While all but one of the reviews are properly cited, none of the details of Broom's biography (including the Queen's Award) are verified by citations. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 19:07, 16 July 2018 (UTC)
Lee Broom is a UK-based product designer who designs furniture and lighting designs. He founded his company in his own name in 2007. In 2017 Broom created a collection of Jasperware for British heritage brand Wedgwood.
Broom started out in theatre school and performed with the RSC in Stratford and the Barbican. Broom’s career took a change of direction after he won a fashion design competition at the age of 17. This led him to meet and then go on to work for the British fashion designer Vivienne Westwood, after which he studied for a degree in fashion design at Central St Martins.[1]
The Guardian commented, “Lee Broom is to furniture what Marc Jacobs or Tom Ford are to fashion.”
Lee Broom was awarded The Queen’s Award for Enterprise in 2015 at Buckingham Palace.[2]
