Iconic Michel Dumas Plexiglas bookcase – 1970s French space age design

Designed in the 1970s by renowned French designer Michel Dumas, this vintage Plexiglas bookcase is an authentic example of space-age and mid-century modern furniture. Dumas is best known for his work with Roche Bobois and for pioneering the use of acrylic materials in functional yet sculptural designs. This original vintage piece reflects his signature aesthetic and remains highly sought after in the international design market. The bookcase offers both functional storage and sculptural elegance, allowing books, art objects, and collectibles to be displayed in a visually light and refined way. The transparent Plexiglas enhances natural light and creates a sense of openness, making it ideal for both small and large spaces. As a vintage designer piece, it combines everyday usability with long-term collectibility, adding timeless design value to contemporary, modern, or eclectic interiors. Michel Dumas produced his furniture primarily in France during the 1970s, working with Plexiglas and lucite at a time when these materials were considered cutting-edge. His designs were sold through Roche Bobois as well as under his own label and other brands. There is no active production of Michel Dumas furniture today, making all existing pieces authentic vintage originals. Minor signs of age or surface wear may be present and are consistent with the nature and age of acrylic furniture.
