These sculptural chairs showcase Jones’s signature mastery of bent Lucite, with arched arms and clear legs that give the design a light, floating presence.

The seats and backs are upholstered in a vintage plaid fabric that shows age and wear and would benefit from reupholstery, allowing the next owner to customize them to their interior project. The screws display plating loss and wear, consistent with age, but the Lucite frames remain structurally sound with beautiful clarity.
