Why We Love This Type of Furniture
There are many reasons why we at Muniz are so obsessed with creating the perfect acrylic chairs, tables, and awards for you. Here are just a few!
- The material is rich in history. While lucite may have had some seedy years, it has made a superstar’s comeback and is back and hotter than ever. Forget about the Vegas years and the 1980’s, which gave the impression that the material was cheap and tacky. In 1931, lucite was created as a transparent, durable, and flexible material that first served the WWII war effort in airplane windshields and submarine periscopes. In the 50’s, this material became a fashionably modern material in accessories, chairs, tables, and even beds, such as L’Oreal founder Helena Rubinstein’s famously modern living area. Today, this material is rapidly growing in popularity as an aesthetically pleasing furniture addition to any space.
- It works with anything- Lucite is clear acrylic with a 93% transparency rate, and allows the materials around it to be seen and highlighted through its transparency. While lucite is not bulletproof, it is very durable, with a high melting point of 320 degrees Fahrenheit. Moreover, it is easy to clean, paintable, has no odor, and classified as non-hazardous.
We Love Acrylic Furniture
- Another reason that we love acrylic furniture is because lucite is such a modern addition to any space. This material is extremely modern, transitional, and can also be contemporary. The material began as a break-through polymer in the 30’s, became chic and fashionable in the 60’s, and now harkens to hollywood retro glam while remaining stylishly modern. Today, the eclectic mix but transitional style nature makes it a great addition to any space and home.
- It is Highly Durable- Lucite is waterproof, family-friendly, and whimsical. This means that your kids can spill spaghetti and red kool-aid, and it is easy to clean!
- Designers Love it- Many famous designers and leaders of innovation have showcased this material in their designs. Modern designers such as Karl Springer, Vladimir Kagan, Charles Hollis Jones, and Gaetano Sciolari in the mid-century heavily utilized this material, while today avant-guard industrial designers such as Phillipe Starck have brought international attention to the material.
