[Cosmo]politan Style July 2015 – High Point, NC – Occasional furniture manufacturer Jonathan Charles displays their eclectic design flair in their new addtions to the Cosmo Collection. Blending styles from two different periods, the Cosmo collection can be identified by a mid-century interpretation of post-war European designs from the 1940’s.

Comprised of accent tables, dining furniture, and accessories, the Cosmo collection’s sleek transitional look works all settings, from commercial to residential.
Set above a four legged brass base with a connecting stretcher for additional support, the Midcentury Console recalls classic midcentury designs with its sleek styling of the hyedua wood table top and double drawers.
