Good Questions: Custom Acrylic Furniture?

Hi, Apartment Therapy! I was wondering if anyone knew a good source for custom printed acrylic furniture. I am looking to specify a large number of custom printed chairs for a project in Miami, and I'm having trouble finding a US supplier. I like the idea of the large scale print in the first picture, and the style of chair in the second picture. The chair in the first picture is from a Scottish company, Jan Milne, who does beautiful work, but we'd like to buy US. I know the Apartment Therapy community has a lot of fabulous designers as readers — Anyone have any recommendations? Thank you, Kim

I would suggest checking out DC-based Spectrum West — their collection at ICFF was very nice and a great example of high-quality acrylic furniture (there is a lot of really cheap-looking stuff out there!)

Anyone else?

The commercial furniture manufacturer called ICF Source does a molded laminate chair-- a lot of laminate companies have custom capabilities, so you could do a cutomer's own laminate on this chair (the Luna armchair):

There is also a company called Stylex that also makes a chair of bent ply- ironically, also called the Luna. There has been some talk from the manufacturer that there is a capability to put fabrics/ custom logos, etc. underneath a clear melamine layer on these chairs. I am sure if you called their customer service, they could see what can be done for you...

I hope this helps!

Since the OP is earning a fee for specifying furniture, perhaps AT should get a cut?
