Lucite seems to be the “now” material of choice. This clear acrylic plastic was once confined to strictly modern and contemporary showrooms with very hard edged lines. But now, lucite is being celebrated by old and new designers alike. It is even making it’s way into fashion!
The February 2010 issue of Elle Magazine features the lucite accessories below in their "Fashion Spotlight".
