Story
During the mid-1970s, high-end interior designers in New York and Milan became obsessed with the idea of 'invisible' decor that could manipulate light without cluttering a room.
Maker / Origin
While these appear unsigned, they are consistent with the work of high-end acrylic pioneers like Alessandro Albrizzi or the California-based Hill Manufacturing.
Condition & Value
The photos show some surface scuffing and fine 'spider-web' scratches consistent with age and cleaning. Value is driven by the current high demand for 'Grandmillennial' and Mid-Century Modern bar-cart accessories.
