    Rare brass plated and lucite pair of side tables or can be used as coffee table 2019 Charles Hollis Jones (Second set ever made by CHJ) Provenance private collection of CHJ The Connexion double square end table is part of the Connexion line. About the Connexion Line The Connexion Line was created out of a relationship Charles originally had with a girl. When things didn’t work out he began drawing pictures of things he wanted to gift her, they never really in the end connected with her but ultimately became very connected with his work. The philosophy behind this line is to create things that go together and connect in life, especially in furniture so people wouldn’t have to buy multiple pieces with no relationship.

Charles thinks of this line very much so as art, and saw an opportunity to improve on the relationships of many pieces of furniture in one room. Additionally, Charles’ focus was to showcase that one could own multipurpose furniture...
