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.

Charles Hollis Jones Sculptural Light
By Charles Hollis Jones
Located in Chicago, IL
Rare and unique limited edition of a Charles Hollis Jones sculptural Lucite lamp. This high-style carved lucite block is a newer design by the artist Charles and has been modified into a lamp to illuminate the artist's mid-century inspired design for which he is so famous. The brass incased side bar conceals an LED light which transforms the already amazing carved lucite sculpture into an illuminated centerpiece. The lucite sculpture is very rare and only one other lamp modification is known to be in production.

This table is gorgeous, the "O Line" table is one of Charles Hollis Jones' most iconic designs. It is a side table made entirely out of acrylic, featuring a circular top and a cylindrical base. The table's name is derived from the shape of its base, which resembles the letter "O." The O Line table was first introduced in the late 1960s and quickly became a symbol of Jones' innovative approach to furniture design.

The O Line table has been produced in a variety of sizes and finishes over the years, and remains a sought-after piece among collectors of mid-century modern furniture. Its timeless design and versatile aesthetic make it a timeless classic. Charles Hollis Jones is an American artist and designer who is best known for his innovative work in acrylic furniture design.

Great quality and condition wall key or brush cabinet from 1930. This Arts & Crafts style wall cabinet can be used for all kinds of purposes and the stunning, beveled mirror is a real bonus. The handcrafted artwork in the form of carefully hand-hammered style elements on the copper outside is very aesthetically pleasing and the patina too makes this cabinet an absolute joy to own and look at. The door still opens and closes perfectly and the patinated interior could not be in better condition either.
