About the Item
This striking bookcase by Michel Dumas is a powerful expression of 1970s French space-age design.
Crafted from high-quality Plexiglas, the piece showcases Dumas’s mastery of transparency, structure, and modern form.
The clear architectural lines create a floating, sculptural effect that transforms books and objects into part of the display itself.
Designed during an era when acrylic furniture symbolized progress and innovation, this bookcase feels both futuristic and timeless.
As original Michel Dumas pieces become increasingly rare, this bookcase stands as a collectible design statement with strong visual presence and historical value.

Michel Dumas
Michel Dumas was a French painter from Lyons. He was a pupil of Grobon and Bonnefond at the National School Fine Arts De Lyon. He later moved to Paris, where he entered the workshop of Ingres, with whom he established a lifelong friendship. Through the income from private commissions, he left for Rome, where he stayed, with Ingres, for 16 years. Dumas ended his career in his hometown as a professor at the École des Beaux-Arts in Lyon and died in 1885.MICHEL DUMAS (FRANCE, 1812–85)
