BEACON
DESIGN BY LEE BROOM
LONDON
BEACON is a monumental sculptural lighting installation designed by Lee Broom, produced and supported by BROKIS and Materials Assemble.
Beacon was on view for the duration of the London Design Festival, from 13–21 September 2025, as one of the Festival’s official Landmark Projects. It then remains in place as a key installation for the Southbank Centre’s Winter Light festival, running from November 20, 2025 to January 18, 2026.
Positioned at an iconic riverside location, it is inspired by the area's architecture and legacy. Made using a special fusing technology developed to upcycle discarded glass fragments, the installation reinterprets classic street lamps to form the structure collectively resembling a vast sculptural chandelier. It has been sustainably constructed so its components can be repurposed into individual light fixtures after deinstallation, ensuring both beauty and longevity. As a major piece of public art, Beacon has been conceived not only as a design installation but as a shared experience in the public realm, one that is open, accessible, and intended for all.
