After pulling together some photos of Lucite furniture, I decided to search 1stDibs to see what Lucite pieces were available for sale. While there, I happened to find a pair of bar stools that match the ones in the Traditional Home photo below:

"Amanda Nisbet covered a chocolate-finish Somerset Bay dining table with an acrylic top to step up the allure of her Lucite cube stools. 'Amanda liked the idea of relating to the sea . . . but with brighter, a little more punched-up colors.' Instead of wielding a calm sea- or sky-blue palette, Nisbet introduced brilliant bursts of peacock blue in the living and dining areas. That hue, in silk on the Lucite dining stools, triggers a tart visual rush that dissolves into deliciousness, like the first bite into a sour-apple gum ball. 'Plus, I love that little bit of elegance you get with Lucite,' says the designer."

"Pair of 'Buttercup' chairs in clear Lucite from Estelle and Erwine Laverne's Invisible Group. Designed in 1957 for Laverne International, this boldly modern concept, the Invisible Group, helped usher in an era of plastic furniture design. The Buttercup remains a progressive-looking design, still used in film to represent futurism. These chairs were recently acquired from the original owner who purchased the chairs in 1963. A rare and iconic example of Mid-Century modern seating."

"A Russian writing table is set directly in front of the windows, where striped silk drapery panels frame a lovely view of the outdoors. To temper the solemnity of the table, a Lucite chair has a shocking pink seat."
