The Louis
Ghost chair by Philip Stark is showing up in magazines every month. Of all acrylic furniture, this is the
hot item.
This clear Lucite chair is the 'it' chair of the decade I do believe. The
Ghost Chair comes is several transparent colors as well as shiny black
plastic.
These cool modern, contemporary home furnishings of both clear and opaque
Lucite, Plexiglass, Lexan and plastic are often made with the lines of classic traditional
furniture giving these pieces the ability to provide a bridge between ultra modern
contemporary furniture and classic antiques all used in the same room. Now with the
ability to order modern furniture online, you can easily obtain Italian furniture and
other upscale modern pieces that used to be only available to those in major
metropolitan areas. Whereas plate glass is usually characterized by a dark-green tint along its edge,
acrylic is crystal-clear.
Plexi-Craft is a factory buy-direct source for acrylic
furniture & accessories located in New York. They make clear Plexiglass coffee tables,
dining room tables, chairs, pedestals, occasional tables, magazine racks, shelves, bar
stools, mirrors, modern, contemporary computer desks, and cubes. PlexiCraft's Z-Chair
was shown in a recent issue of Elle Decor and their Plia Bridge Chair is like a old
fashioned standard card table folding chair but with clear plexiglass inserts and seats
which elevate its coolness. All of PlexiCraft's pieces seem to be made from thick, heavy
duty clear acrylic so it is not inexpensive. They will happily do custom orders too.
