Adrian Pearsall for Craft Associates Lounge Chairs

About the Item

This pair of low slung Adrian Pearsall lounge chairs are a part of his partnership with Craft Associates. In 1952, Adrian Pearsall and his brother founded a furniture business in Wilkes-Barre, PA called Crafts Associates. Pearsall designed the furniture and incorporated in his pieces many elements that have become synonymous with classic American, mid century modern design. His use of geometric shapes and lines and natural materials out of which his pieces were created, all helped to define his "look". But it was his ability to bring innovative design to the masses with the proof that beauty and style need not be sacrificed for function, that perhaps bears witness most to his enduring legacy. These chairs are some of Pearsall's earliest designs using walnut as a major component. These are some of the most sought after Pearsall designs.
