What: A lightweight clear plastic, also known as Plexiglas, Acrylite, and Perspex.
History: Developed in 1928, this material is used for lighter weight applications and is more economical than some heavier duty plastics. During WW2 both sides used this material for windshields and scopes in machines and tools.
Use: Lucite is used in making almost all furniture types – tables, chairs, case goods, upholstery. It can disappear in a room or adds structure and shape without visual weight. It works well in juxtapositions – Lucite in rustic or traditional interiors create lovely and unique combinations. If you have a space that looks too cluttered with a traditional table or chair, try a Lucite piece to give shape and use without adding clutter.

You know, I have never really been into Lucite. But I do really like the look of the coffee table.

Lucite is such a fun material, but I love it best when it’s mixed with classical design. Creates a great contrast!
I have been obsessed with lucite for the past year. I found a great source in Miami for a custom lucite desk – it’s on my wish list! Love all your selections.
