Some of his design is slightly eccentric, but it certainly has character & finesse. Maybe it's the photography, but the Crystal Bulb isn't grabbing me. It looks a bit old-fashioned meets bling. I can see it in a gastropub or more formal restaurant, but I can't really see it in a modern interior. In terms of a lightbulb as a design statement, I would have to opt for Plumen. BTW the Salon Dining chair in black above looks great! I do think Lee Broom is a great designer. Some of his design is slightly eccentric, but it certainly has character & finesse.
