Pair of Walnut & Velvet Wing High Button Back Adrian Pearsall Chairs
About the Item
This beautiful pair of Mid Century Modern chairs were realized by the 20th century legend Adrian Pearsall in the United States circa 1960. They feature a sculptural base consisting of angled back feet and front straight feet- connected via an hourglass form support- that imbue the piece with a subtle dynamism. The wing back seat has flares out on either side gently wrapping inwards. Additionally, there is button back detailing and convex wood embellishments (a signature design detail of Pearsall) on the arm rests. With their impeccable craftsmanship and refined color palate, these lounge chairs would be a winning addition to any style of interior from Mid-Century Modernist to Contemporary. They have been newly reupholstered in a cream velvet fabric 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.
