Born in 1925 Adrian Pearsall began designing and building furniture in 1952 with his company named 'Craft Associates' which started first in his home shop and grew to a company with more than 650 craftsmen and employees. Pearsalls work not only helped define Mid-Century Modern but also the idea that function does not have to be sacrificed for beauty. With most furniture before the mid-century being highly ornate and lacking in utilitarian use his work was a much welcomed change. Clean lines organic shapes and black American walnut wood are just a few elements often found in Pearsalls furniture and all are on display with this magnificent brutalist sofa.
