apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I like the way the bulk of the chairs disappears. The chairs are a bit of a muddle, chrome, lucite, wood(?), but I like them.

plastic and vinyl - can you imagine trying to peel yourself off these in hot weather? ugh!

I love lucite but these chairs are just off for me.

these chairs combine the worst qualities of vinyl, lucite and metal. no elegance, no innovation, just plain ugly

Cover them in something else than black vinyl. A nice fabric would look like it's floating in the air

Lucite -- just say no!

I voted 'so not'. But, come to think of it...if the seat cushions were lightened up and the chairs were coupled with a glass (rnd or rectangular) table in a light and airy decor, then yeah they would be 'hot'. Totally hot!!!

Sorry. All you nay-sayers are wrongedy-wrong-wrong-wrong. These chairs are FAB!

If the seats were recovered in a natural texured material these chairs would have a fresh light look. We have had this lucite discussion before and some people had very strong reactions against it. I think lucite used as an accent can add a litte sparkle to a room. I visited Aero, and Coconut Company today and the vintage lucite lamps and table I saw had certain appeal
even in their scratched condition. My point is these chairs have a certain vintage appeal that could give a new table a much needed anchor.Sharon, you are righty, right, right.

Very unique. Definitely cool.
It is very interesting how different the opinions are; and very strong too. I am sure if they were a new design by one of the celebrated designers, the vote would look different. And as PAS hinted; the surroundings always matters.

i'm with mod--not a good mix of materials.

"if they were a new design by one of the celebrated designers..." i disagree.
lucite, if you love it, on its own, is super.
i second mod and jim--this mish-mash?...ew!

These are actually my chairs and they are for sale for $500. I am in Brooklyn, New York and if you are interested feel free to e-mail me for more details.

PS- Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

Lucite is always so hot,check out those lamps on EBAY!
