Charles Hollis Jones Le Dome Dining Table – Todd Merrill
Designed by Charles Hollis Jone, theย Le Dome table wasย created in 1977 by Swedlow Plastics.
Before it metย Jones’ย strict requirements, the tableย required extensive experimentation. Its base was made as single casting, includingย a custom steel anchor used for attaching the top. The concept for the anchor was inspired by Jones’ memories of space-capsule splashdowns,ย which were in themselves featsย of engineering to achieve. For this reason, only Swedlow, an aviation specialist in Southern California capable of creatingย large-scale casting for the aeronautics industry, wasย ableย toย executeย the Le Dome design.
This table is one of the monumentalย pieces created from the Charles Hollis Jones Signature Collection.
