Adrian Pearsall Pair Swivel Pouf Ottomans Benches Stools with Cloth Bases, 1980s
About the Item
This pair of pink pouf benches was originally designed by Adrian Pearsall for Comfort Designs Inc. The pink fabric has an airy and light feel but still offers the benches some sense of presence in a room, preventing them from just hiding in a corner. The fabric is tied snugly and evenly into the bottom of the bench, which stretches it taut across the top. Therefore, the benches are a very pleasant seat. This is helped by a smooth and refined swiveling motion that offers enough resistance for a consistent seating experience.
The fabric is slightly faded and has some light spots but is otherwise in good condition. They reatin the orignial fabric texture and base.

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.
