Deadstock Fabric Platform Sofa Set by Adrian Pearsall for Craft Associates, 60s

About the Item

Designed by the incomparable Adrian Pearsall, this iconic set of "Platform" sofas is the epitome of functional art. Audacious in their scope, shape and materials used this sofa set is a true American masterpiece. Featuring new dark green and black patterned polyester velvet fabric, new support straps and professionally re-finished wood these sofas make up perhaps the best conditioned platform sofas available for sale in North America. The veneered American black walnut bases show exceptional old-growth woodgrains that are breathtaking from all angles. In homage to the late great Pearsall these sofas were painstakingly restored using the same techniques, materials and sewing patterns used by the Craft Associates factory and even includes the original foam cushions to assure precise size and ply of the newly upholstered fabric. Born in 1925 Adrian Pearsall began designing and building furniture in 1952 with his company named 'Craft Associates' which started first in his home shop and grew to a company with more than 650 craftsmen and employees. Pearsall’s work not only helped define Mid-Century Modern but also the idea that function does not have to be sacrificed for beauty. With most furniture before the mid-century being highly ornate and lacking in utilitarian use, his work was a much welcomed change. Clean lines, organic shapes, and black American walnut wood are just a few elements often found in Pearsall’s furniture and all are on display with this magnificent brutalist sofa set. This monolithic sofa set is absolutely arresting from all sides and is sure to make a BOLD statement in any space it inhabits. Ideal for collectors and designers alike this expansive set can blend seamlessly against a myriad of design backdrops from Mid-Century Modern to Minimalism to Brutalism. Make them yours today before their gone forever. ---Dimensions--- Long Sofa- Width: 98 in / 248.92 cm Depth: 33 in / 83.82 cm Height: 29.5 in / 74.93 cm Seat Height: 16 in / 40.64 cm Arm Height: 26 in / 66.04 cm Loveseat- Width: 57 in / 144.78 cm Depth: 33 in / 83.82 cm Height: 28 in / 71.12 cm Seat Height: 16 in / 40.64 cm Condition Details: This stunning sofa set has recently undergone a comprehensive and transformative restoration process featuring new upholstery. The walnut-veneered platform bases have been hand-sanded, refinished, and painted in accordance with the original materials and colors and shows only minor veneer repairs, light scratches and nicks (the worst of which can be seen in the detail photos provided). With that said the wood is in overall very good condition and the walnut woodgrains, perfectly offset by the matte-black base, are absolutely captivating in natural light. The upholstery, redone in a fabulous polyester velvet fabric with vintage-feeling dark green and black waves, is in showroom condition and upholstered to the exact measurements and patterns as the original scheme and even features the original foam cushions. The long sofa can comfortably seat four and up to five whilst the love seat if perfect for two and up to three. This iconic sofa set is ultra-comfortable, structurally sound and ready for a literal lifetime more of use thanks to it's recent restoration.
