Out and About Lee Broom
Christian Louboutin Harrods, London UK

BY THE CITY Inspired
May 2013 saw the opening of the Christian Louboutin Boutique in Harrods, London. Lee Broom, interior designer, was commissioned by this iconic French luxury shoe designer to create their latest store.
Following on the trend of other Christian Laboutin stores, Broom took his inspiration from the city of London where it is located. The shop within a shop includes an intricate white fanned arch‐way entrance reminiscent of the Covent Garden Opera House and white street lamps scattered around the shop floor, with classic red carpet and beautiful arched niches where the shoe collections are presented. Paying homage to Big Ben, a giant etched glass clock face illuminates the space against the arched windows of the store. Whilst creating a contemporary space, Broom draws on the traditional architecture of Harrods, keeping the moulded staccato detailed ceiling which immediately gives the store a sense of grandeur. Lee Broom was thrilled to have been appointed by Louboutin for this special project and said “It has been an honour to design the new store for Christian Louboutin in Harrods. I have always been a huge admirer of his work and I am delighted to be designing this space in one
of the most famous department stores in the world. I have enjoyed drawing on my fashion background and creating a magical space that has a real sense of drama and escapism.”
Lee Broom is an interior designer who founded his company just five years ago and has launched numerous lighting and furniture collections in during this time. He has won the Award for The Crystal Bulb in October 2012 and ‘Designer of the Year 2011 ‐ 2012’ at the British Design Awards in November 2011 and his work has been featured internationally in most major broadsheet and interior design publications.
