Lucite International a global leader in acrylics

Husband and wife team Ana and Val Armano Linta founded their self-titled architecture and design company in 2013, based in Zagreb, Croatia.
They have created the innovative ‘Table Yourself Acrylic’ coffee tables, which are made using a single sheet of Perspex® acrylic and can be self-assembled by the owner.

We find out more about the designs and why Armano Linta Studio loves to use Perspex® acrylic.

Applications for acrylic are not limited to the land on which we live; it is also ideally suited for use at sea and underwater due to its high performance qualities that include brilliant optical clarity and exceptional strength and durability.
From helping scientists to explore the depths of the ocean in submersibles, to giving people the ultimate dining and relaxation experiences in underwater restaurants, acrylic truly is everywhere.
