About the Item

Modernist Lucite and Chrome Table Lamp, Attributed to Charles Hollis Jones, USA, 1970s This spectacular table lamp from the Mid-Century Modern era combines the transparency of lucite (acrylic) with the shine of chrome or brushed metal. The design is a kinetic sculpture in itself, composed of stacked rectangular elements that create a striking play of light and shadow. The solid base anchors the structure, while the lucite blocks appear to float, capturing and diffusing light in an elegant and contemporary manner. Uniqueness and Context The uniqueness of this piece lies in the work of the American designer Charles Hollis Jones. Nicknamed "Mr. Lucite", he was a pioneer in treating acrylic as a noble, artistic material starting in the 1960s and 1970s. Before him, acrylic was primarily confined to industrial uses. Material Innovation: Jones elevated lucite to a high-end design material, using it for its sculptural qualities and its ability to interact with light, often in association with chrome or brass. The geometric and clean design transcends eras and fits perfectly into modern or classic . Original pieces from the 1970s, in good condition, are increasingly rare and highly sought after by collectors and interior design enthusiasts. Jones' work is recognized by prestigious institutions such as the Smithsonian Institution, which attests to his importance in the history of American design. By purchasing this lamp, you are acquiring a functional work of art with a rich history and a powerful aesthetic.
