A documented Adrian Pearsall for Craft Associates model 102-R upholstered daybed
About the Item
A documented Adrian Pearsall for Craft Associates model 102-R upholstered daybed having an enameled steel frame with beech wood back support .
This daybed is an early example of one of the first designs ever made by Pearsall at his first factory located at 296 Madison Street in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania. At the time, he and his brother Richard were the only employees, suggesting that Pearsall not only conceived this form, but also helped fabricate it.
Accompanying the daybed will be a digital copy of a certificate of authenticity issued by Jim Pearsall, the artist's son.

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.
