Ikea PS Maskros Pendant Lamp

Lucite, Acrylic, Plexiglass

And they're all plastic. Just as platinum, gold and aluminum are all metals the grades are different. Lucite and plexiglass are trademarked brand names, like Kleenex is to facial tissue. High grade plastic, the thicker the better and by better I mean more expensive, is essentially acrylic. Acrylic is what you see used throughout interiors as tables, chairs, trays, accessories, light fixtures, furniture bases, and on and on. It can be sawed, molded, invisibly seamed together to make beautiful and extraordinary pieces for the home.
