“Lucite? What’s that?”
Salvage 101 - Lucite
Welcome to class!
This week’s Salvage 101 is all about Lucite. “Lucite? What’s that?” you may be wondering. Well, even if you don’t know what it is you’ve probably heard that superstars Beyonce and Jay-Z have purchased a $3,500 crib made of it for their new baby, Blue Ivy. Chic, right? This kid is definitely going to be sleeping in style!
lucite cribLucite is a light and shatter-resistant alternative to glass, often called “acrylic glass”. It’s been marketed under the name Plexiglas, among others, and can be formed into a vast number of things, including tables, trays, headboards, and so much more!
You might wonder where such an interesting material can be used in your home. Well, check out what House Beautiful magazine said about Lucite: “Every designer will tell you: Just one piece of clear acrylic furniture will shake up any room in any style. It’s the one-piece makeover…” Maybe pair some Lucite chairs with a more rustic-type table? Or feature a tray as a display of found objects? Or maybe even hang a Lucite chandelier up in your dining room to give it that extra sparkle!
No doubt about it, there is more to Lucite than meets the eye. We just acquired some stunning pieces through a large purchase at Discount Home Warehouse – and they are flying out the door. Because guess what? You don’t have to be Beyonce or Jay-Z to be able to afford Lucite! At our prices, these pieces are a steal, plain and simple!
