Each chair is conceived with a refined architectural structure in brushed brass, framing clear acrylic uprights that create a striking interplay between transparency and metallic brilliance. The tall, rectilinear backs and generously proportioned seats are fully upholstered in sumptuous white rabbit fur, introducing a tactile softness that contrasts elegantly with the clean geometric rigor of the frame. The use of Lucite — a signature material in Jones’s production — lends the design a sense of visual lightness, while the brushed brass elements provide warmth and a subtle reflective glow. The composition reflects Jones’s distinctive ability to merge Hollywood Regency opulence with modernist restraint, resulting in pieces that are both sculptural and functional. The chairs maintain a strong decorative presence while preserving an airy transparency, making them particularly versatile within both contemporary and classic interiors. A refined and luxurious ensemble, characteristic of American high design of the 1970s. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
