Our Lamps take their inspiration from the Lucite lamps of the Art Deco
period, Lucite® is a Polymer Resin developed in 1928 from which a whole
range of products were made from it including lamps, an extraordinary material,
it can be drilled, threaded, welded, heat-formed, cast, glued, coloured,
it allows 96% of light to pass through it (glass only allows 94%).
Optically perfect to 13inches thick (glass becomes opaque at 2inches
thickness). Bulletproof at 40mm thick, Ultra Violet Light resistant (images and
materials behind it will not be faded by the sun). A truly modern material created
in a period of luxury, exuberance, and technological progress.
At the outbreak of World War II, all production of Lucite was
diverted to the war effort where it was primarily used for aircraft canopies.
Lighter and safer than glass it significantly reduced splinter injuries to
aircrew. Nowadays you may know Lucite as Acrylic Glass, Lexan, or Perspex, all
derivatives of Lucite, it is widely used in the manufacture of prescription
glasses, is used to make the undersea tunnels and viewing areas at oceanariums,
furniture, and is still used for aircraft canopies.
