Modern Acrylic Furniture

acrylic furniture - Plexi-Craft George II chairs paired with traditional round pedestal dining room table via AtticmagContemporary acrylic furniture pieces are clear winners in the design world

German chemist Otto Rohm was in the process of developing safety glass for use in automobiles and airplanes when he inadvertently cast the first acrylic plastic sheet.  It became commercially available under the trademark Plexiglas in 1936, and instantly became a design sensation.  Its physical properties allowed the material to be heat formed, machined and bonded with nearly invisible joints.  But sheer beauty is what has made acrylic furniture a longtime favorite in the design world.

A leading source of designers, architects and design-conscious consumers is New York based Plexi-Craft. While acrylic pieces are thought of as modern, their Contemporary George II chairs have a slight traditional feel when paired with a pedestal dining table, proving flexibility goes beyond material characteristics.  The tufted cushions are upholstered in leatherette but are also available using the customer’s own material.

    Check the background in the third photo down. It’s a view of Central Park, probably from the 50s on a high floor. Fantastic view north. No wonder they want to see through the chairs.

    The view is amazing. Did some digging – seems Benjamin Noriega-Ortiz designed the apartment in 2010 for P Diddy Combs. BNOdesign.com has more photographs. It even has a lucite baby grand piano. Every room has lucite. A bit much for me:
