LEE BROOM’S PIED A TERRE
The Journal ran a story on the British lighting and furniture designer Lee Broom’s apartment here, which he finished in March — and then had to promptly fly home. (I can’t run the pictures here, but the short film above has nothing to do with Tribeca, it is still a treat. It’s the virtual launch of his Maestro chair, which features London’s Parallax Orchestra reuniting for the first time since lockdown to perform a selection of classical compositions…while sitting in the chair.) “In late March of 2020, Lee Broom stood on a New York City sidewalk and watched as a crate holding an ’80s cocktail bar he’d recently bought swayed six stories high in the breeze, steadying itself before being craned onto the terrace of his new Tribeca penthouse. He pulled out his phone and took a video. ‘It was frightening, but I was kind of like, these are the lengths you go to to get exactly what you want,’ he says.”
