Creators of handcrafted utilitarian lighting and product design & fabrication.
The YB workshop sits quietly nestled within the Cairngorms National Park in the Scottish Highlands .
Fusing a background of Sculpture & visual art with design , making and fabrication YB create an environmentally sensitive collection of timeless pieces whilst working on bespoke commissions and creative project work .
Valuing simplicity and quality craftsmanship each separate Yellow Broom product is meticulously created by hand placing a strong emphasis upon the design process , material procurement , function and strong but minimal aesthetics.
Applying a considered combination of traditional steam bending techniques with modern construction methods YB value sustainability and are sensitive to our environmental impact and responsibilities as designer/ makers . Our products are where possible created from locally sourced materials proudly working with a Zero waste approach making.
Re-purposing materials, be that of surplus supply to the construction industry or the off cuts of another maker or manufacturer is integral to YB work and ethos .
Any product stating it is created with repurposed materials will be a limited edition according to the sources available .
Yellow Broom believe that clarity and harmony within a home can be achieved through the careful blending and integration of visual art and design . That belief is of paramount importance to us and enables us to express our interest in the pleasure we believe handmade functional objects bring to everyday life . Some of the best designs are the objects that we take for granted; and for us the simplicity and genius of the paper clip are what we both strive for in the products we create .
All YB products are made to order minimising waste alongside offering the client the potential to apply their own personal touch to each separate design.
Yellow Broom actively promotes working with architects and interior designers. We enjoy and encourage working with clients on bespoke commissions and projects both domestic and commercial , drop us a line or give us a call if you would like to work with us. 07813 500 603 .
