About
Lee Simmons’ work is a synthesis that brings together architecture, art and design and exploits the relationship between their blurred peripheries.
Born in 1987, Lee first studied metalwork and silversmithing at Sheffield Hallam University (2006-2009) and followed his graduation with a Master’s degree from the Royal College of Art in London (2009-2011). He currently lives and works at his Hertfordshire-based design studio.
‘I am a creative who thrives on having the flexibility to straddle the lines between disciplines.’
