Lee Broom has introduced a striking new addition to his Requiem collection: the Requiem Wall Light. Unveiled during New York Design Week, this sculptural piece continues the collection’s exploration of fluid, hand-formed plaster, now reimagined in a format that brings atmospheric lighting directly to the wall.

Crafted entirely by hand in Broom’s London studio, the wall light is shaped using a unique technique in which plaster is manipulated while still in a semi-liquid state.

The result is an organic form that appears to hover or drape across the wall, reminiscent of fabric caught mid-motion. Its quiet, sculptural presence casts soft, architectural shadows, transforming surfaces into subtle focal points.
