This coffee table is absolutely stunning-- from Charles Hollis Jones' Waterfall line. The Charles Hollis Jones Waterfall line was a collection of furniture designed by Charles Hollis Jones in the 1960's. The Waterfall line is characterized by its sleek, modern design and use of acrylic materials. Jones is known for his innovative use of materials, particularly acrylic, which he began working with in the 1960s. The Waterfall line features clear acrylic pieces that appear to be suspended in mid-air, giving them a light and ethereal quality. The pieces are often paired with other materials such as chrome, brass, or wood, creating a striking contrast between the different textures. The Waterfall line included a variety of pieces such as tables, chairs, and benches, each with a unique design that highlights the beauty of the acrylic material. The pieces are designed to be functional and visually striking, and their clean lines and modern aesthetic have made them popular among collectors and design enthusiasts. Today, Charles Hollis Jones is considered one of the pioneers of acrylic furniture design, and his Waterfall line remains an important part of the mid-century modern design movement. We currently have this table in our gallery alongside a Karl Springer credenza...
