apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time


Hot or Not?: Olaf Kitzig Acrylic Recliner
Washington DC

AcrylicGlassRecliner.jpg

This picture might be our newest favorite escape- the candles, the water, the sunset all make the deck look so inviting. We are less certain though about the acrylic lounger/recliner. Is it comfortable? Does it scratch easily? Will we just slide off the smooth surface?...

 
 

This acrylic recliner is available in transparent or in a variety of colors, and can also be fitted with a custom cover.

Regardless of how easily it may or may not scratch, I think it would get covered with dust and dirt and pollen and smudges WAY too quickly.

Its a beautiful photograph but I think it would be uncomfortable to actually sit on.

It IS beautiful, but before buying one: take the glass out of a picture frame, stand in front of a mirror and smush your leg caps against the glass. See how it looks in the mirror.

It's pretty, but I like my chairs not to hurt me. That could also get sticky if it's hot outside -- remember vinyl car seats? As for nude sun bathing.... you'd get bum burn from the plastic. No thank you.

Ok, totally not practical. Not comfortable, not nice-looking after the first rainy or dusty day. But really attractive at just the moment when the picture was taken....

Impractical, uncomfortable and totally gorgeous.

I could see this in one of the apartments in the Julian Schnabel designed Chupi Palazzo.

Not even at a luxury resort hotel where the staff are there to clean it every day...

I totally agree with Seaside and would add to the list illogical, unreasonable and absolutely amazing. Need every piece of furniture be practical?

Wouldn't you stick to this or slide when you get sweaty? I think it's nice but I can't imagine lounging on this.

I love it and would love to see it at a spa I go to but there is nothing practical about it which makes me love it all the more.

It's gorgeous! I'd be tempted to use it indoors. Lucite isn't just for coffee tables anymore...

It's beautiful and works as a piece of art. It just doesn't work as a piece of furniture.

Lucite is not for permanant use outdoors as it yellows in the sun. This does what it does beautifully.....set a scene. I love this peice.
