Buying your first house is the universal sign that you are a grown-up and mature member of society. But decorating your abode can be a whole different story. If you are bored with the usual collection of sensible, functional furniture pieces presented at home wares stores, check out Lee Broom’s Neo Neon art-furniture collection. Made in limited series of twenty-five, each piece is carved from mahogany, lacquered in a high-gloss finish and fitted with neon lights. The ornate classicism of each piece contrasts with the whimsical pop-modern addition of the glowing neon lights, perhaps reflecting the influence of outrageous fashion auteur, Vivienne Westwood, with whom he worked for six-months during his formative design years. Either way, Lee’s Neo Neon collection can never be described as sensible. Look out for his next collection, titled Rough Diamond, which is due for release this coming September and features sleek neon-covered bistro furniture.
