Mid-Century Modern Paddle Armed Lounge Chair by Adrian Pearsall 2291-C Chair
About the Item
This iconic Mid-Century Modern 2291-C lounge chair was realized by the legendary designer Adrian Pearsall in the United States circa 1960. It features subtly angular front legs and dramatically arched hind legs; a sculptural paddle arm rest embellishment on the top of each open rhombus form- all in a beautiful hand rubbed walnut. The gently tapered back has "wing" detailing at its apex with gently rounded corners, as well as subtly convex seat- all newly reupholstered in a textural cafe au lait upholstery. Full of striking geometries, verve and dynamism, this piece showcases the many reasons that Pearsall remains one of the most celebrated and influential designers of the 20th century. Its clean modernist lines and refined color palate make this piece as versatile as it is stunning, blending perfectly with any style of interior from classic Mid Century to contemporary. It has been newly reupholstered and restored to mint condition.

Adrian Pearsall
Adrian Pearsall designed some of the most exuberant and expressive American furniture of the 1950s and ’60s. For verve and vivacity of form, he surpasses even Vladimir Kagan — whose work is the emblem of swinging, sexy mid-20th century modernism. Pearsall gave his imagination free rein, and his flamboyant, eye-catching styles are icons of what has become known as “Atomic Age” design.
Pearsall studied architectural engineering at the University of Illinois before opening his Pennsylvania furniture company, Craft Associates, in 1952, and that training shows in many designs. A Pearsall trademark, for example, is a lounge chair with an exceptionally tall, trapezoidal back, which give the pieces a skyscraper-like silhouette. Pearsall also had a talent for so-called Gondola sofas — long, low-slung pieces with upswept ends. Many of Pearsall’s sofas and chairs are supported not by legs, but on gently arced walnut skids.
Pearsall also had a gift for tables, in particular glass-topped side tables and coffee tables with frames that have the look of an Alexander Calder stabile. As you will see from the offerings on 1stDibs, Adrian Pearsall had flair, and his work adds an attention-getting, sculptural exclamation point to any décor.
