Description
Why settle for an ordinary chair when you can own this stunning postmodern acrylic swivel vanity stool that is more than just a piece of furniture-it's a reflection of a bold, artistic movement from the 1980's. This period was a time of artistic rebellion, marked by an obsession for geometric shapes, bold colors, and luxurious materials of which acrylic (or lucite) was one.
During the 1970's-1980's, designers like Charles Hollis Jones - a favorite among celebrities - pushed the boundaries of furniture design, creating pieces that were both functional and works of art with the use of unorthodox materials, specifically acrylic. This material's transparency, almost ethereal in appearance, created visual lightness and elegance in a room.
Should you splurge? Absolutely. This isn't just a any stool, it's a piece that captures the allure and daring spirit of an era when style knew no bounds. Collectibles from this era are experiencing a renaissance in the world of design as they create a break from and a counterbalance to the trendy flavors of the day.
Though it appears light and airy it is heavy due to the density of acrylic.
