have a seat
during icff i wandered into the umbra booth and fell for these adorable stool/magazine holders called "magino". made of acrylic (i'm still crazy about the clear stuff), the magino stool is one of those great pieces of furniture that serves a multitude of purposes: stool, foot rest, magazine holder, bedside table, children's table/chair. the chair isn't up on the umbra website yet, but it is available in stores (suggested retail $225).

Hi I've been reading your blog silently. Jux wanna tell U. I love all de designer pics of things U put up.
Hee... I'm an acrylic fan too! I love acrylic, crystals & glass. Ha! Think I shld stay in a glasshouse too. (jux kidding)
that's quite a tush
about acrylic (from a website that manufactures acrylic products):
"Acrylic is an impact resistant plastic which is half the weight of glass. It is unaffected by sun or salt spray and can withstand temperatures in the region of -30°F to +160°F for continuous service. It is therefore an ideal, relatively maintenance free, robust material for use in door furniture where an appearance of glass or crystal is desired but without the obvious dangers of using glass materials in a door handle."

d*s
Of course people that manufacture Acrylic, are going to tell you to buy it, duh.
As long as you don't touch the plastic it won't scratch. After a year you will be wishing it was glass.
