Charles Hollis Jones Furniture
American, b. 1945
The now omnipresent design use of acrylic and Lucite owes much of its enduring popularity to seasoned creative Charles Hollis Jones. Nicknamed “Mr. Lucite,” the California-based furniture designer and artist made his reputation — and contributed to a lasting legacy for a material one might not immediately consider highbrow — with chairs, tables and other furnishings in the substance scientifically known as polymethyl methacrylate. But while the connecting thread through Jones’s body of work is the presence of translucent materials, his designs are anything but one-note.
The son of an Indiana carpenter, Jones has always been fascinated with structure and reinventing expected ones in new ways. He began working with furniture manufacturers while still a teenager and came to prominence in the 1960s and ’70s, researching and experimenting with techniques to shape acrylic into unconventional forms. “If I design a T-A-B-L-E without thinking of the name, then I can pretend I’ve never seen one,” he told PIN-UP magazine. His design combinations run the gamut from Lucite, brass and glass on elegant dining tables to more unusual applications of Lucite as legs for upholstered sofas and frames for Tibetan fur chairs.
Jones’s work is as varied as his client list, which has included Frank Sinatra, Sylvester Stallone and the Kardashians. For Tennessee Williams, he created a writing chair called the Wisteria chair. Jones also collaborated several times with modernist architect John Lautner, designing furniture that seemed to disappear into its surroundings.
He resides in Los Angeles, where he still designs today.

About Charles Hollis Jones:
Charles Hollis Jones is an American artist and furniture designer who is recognized by the Smithsonian Institution for his pioneering use of acrylic and lucite. Born in Bloomington, Indiana in 1945, Jones moved to Los Angeles, California at the age of 16 and founded CHJ Designs. At the time, acrylic and plastic were not commonly used as a material for upscale furniture and art, but Jones, seeing its potential, began creating unique pieces for some of the city’s most renowned showrooms, such as Hudson-Rissman. His work was well received by both art critics and Hollywood celebrities alike. Frank Sinatra, Lucille Ball and Johnny Carson were among some of the first to commission Jones Tennessee Williams commissioned Jones to design a comfortable, yet modern writing chair. The result was the Wisteria chair...

Charles Hollis Jones Black Formica and Lucite Expandable Bar Cart
By Charles Hollis Jones
Located in Saint Louis, MO
We've seen a lot of beautiful bar carts in our business but this one is like a talent scout's dream come true. The shape, the versatility, the black Formica juxtaposed against that thick circular band of Lucite keeping it all together. Strong 1970s, 1980s, 1990s vibe. And it's expandable, which is fairly uncommon. At attention, the bar cart's lengthy side shelves are spruced up and just about double the length of the top shelf. This adds a lot of utility space for cocktail parties or for additional decor. At rest, the large shelves fold down like wings and drape the lower shelf.
Charles Hollis Jones bar carts are the bar carts to have if you're a midcentury aficionado. The most chic. And this one's particular design is contemporaneously en Vogue for its period retro look. Go ahead.. stay awhile and have another - Cheers!
This bar cart would pair exquisitely well with our "Illuminating Lucite Bar...
