His & Hers Lucite Armchairs by Charles Hollis Jones, Signed & Dated 1972

Creator: Charles Hollis Jones
Offered by: Cain Modern

Description
A rare and iconic pair of his-and-hers Lucite armchairs designed and handcrafted by Charles Hollis Jones, signed and dated 1972. These chairs are part of Jones’ celebrated “Arched Waterfall” collection, a body of work that epitomizes his pioneering use of Lucite in American design.

Each chair showcases the sculptural, curved Lucite arms and legs that have become hallmarks of Jones’ work, paired with upholstered seats in a plaid textile. The set highlights his distinctive ability to merge transparency, light, and modernist geometry into functional works of art.

Measurements;
His chair: 36.25” high × 23.25” wide × 24” deep; arm height 24.5”, seat height 17.5”

Her chair: 34.5” high × 23.5” wide × 25.5” deep; arm height 24.5”, seat height 18.5”

Both pieces retain their original chromed hardware and fabric, showing authentic wear consistent with age: mild surface scratches and light crazing to Lucite, rust and plating loss to hardware, staining and rips to upholstery. These condition details provide opportunity for restoration or reupholstery to taste, making them ideal for designers and collectors alike.

Charles Hollis Jones is widely regarded as a trailblazer of mid-century and Hollywood Regency design, best known for his groundbreaking applications of Lucite, brass, and chrome. His pieces were never mass-produced and were meticulously crafted in Los Angeles, California, which adds to their rarity and desirability in today’s design market.

This signed pair represents a significant chapter in Jones’ oeuvre, offering both collectible value and timeless visual impact for interior designers, decorators, and serious collectors of American design.
