Lee Broom has unveiled The Chant Chambers, an installation inside his Shoreditch showroom that showcases his glass block Chant lighting collection for London Design Festival, as first reported by [Dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2026/09/15/lee-broom-1970s-glamour-chant-chambers-installation/?ref=thepenthouseedit.com). The London based designer has built a series of interconnected, atmospheric rooms to display the modular light across four forms, from a portable lamp to an oversized chandelier.

Rather than laying the collection out as a conventional showroom display, Broom divided the space with textured vertical screens, wood panelled walls and tactile wall to wall carpeting, adding stone plinths and sculptures throughout. Glass cube pendants are hung in repeating lines across the ceiling to give parts of the installation an architectural feel, while a three tier Chant chandelier closes the sequence of rooms.

The moody, smoked glass finish running through the installation comes from Chant's latest iteration, a darker toned glass than the version Broom first introduced in 2022\. He has said the finish nods to the late 1970s and early 1980s, when glass blocks were a common feature of modern architecture, with the surrounding palette built around darker, richer tones so the geometry of the lighting still stands out.

Broom said the aesthetic gives the lighting room to lead the space. "This kind of aesthetic really allows lighting to take centre stage," he said, describing the ambience built around the fixtures as central to how they are meant to be experienced. He believes the Chant collection has helped push glass block detailing and geometric, late 1970s forms back into contemporary interiors since its debut.

The Chant Chambers is on show at 95 Rivington Street in Shoreditch from 15 to 20 September, alongside the wider programme of exhibitions and installations across this year's London Design Festival. The installation follows earlier Chant presentations at Mexico City design week and last year's festival, with more of the collection available through [Lee Broom](https://leebroom.com/?ref=thepenthouseedit.com).
