Regular Celery is the studio of Lee Marable, an architect, designer and writer.

I began Regular Celery in 2017, with the award of a start-up grant from the Finnish Department of Work (TE Palvelut) in order to produce a range of backpacks and screen printed textiles. These products have been sold across Finland and the ‘Found in Helsinki’ range of screen-printed kitchen towels is presently available in the Museum of Finnish Architecture.

The studio regularly enters open architecture and urban design competitions both in Finland and internationally, winning honourable mention in the 2018 Vantaa Housing Reform Competition with the project ‘Tree of Life!’. These architecture and urban design projects aim to explore ideas of modesty, equality and activity, often placing an emphasis on locality, public space and scale. A selection of architecture and urban design projects can be viewed here.

I write regularly for architectural publications including ARK – The Finnish Architectural Review, ICON and Bauwelt. My writing primarily focuses on ethics in urban design. Read more here.

In 2019 I co-founded BUM Editions, an independent publisher, producing the architecture, design and arts magazine BUM. I was jointly responsible for editing, graphic design, marketing and illustrating the magazine. BUM Editions received grants from Grafia, the Finnish Association of Visual Communication Designers and Taike, The Arts Promotion Centre Finland. Visit here for more information.

In 2022, I moved back to the UK to work at urban design, research and architecture consultancy We Made That and as a freelance designer as a writer and editor for Open City.

Whilst working at We Made That I led urban strategy and public realm projects for public sector clients including London Borough of Bexley, London Borough of Tower Hamlets, London Borough of Southwark, London Borough of Lambeth, Canterbury City Council, Crawley Borough Council and Maidstone Borough Council.

In 2025, I returned full-time to Regular Celery projects.

Through the studio I undertake a mix of consultancy work and self-initiated projects.
