Audacious in it's scope, shape and materials utilized this sofa is a true American masterpiece. Featuring new white cotton bouclé fabric from Knoll Fabrics, new support straps and professionally re-finished walnut tapered legs this sofa is perhaps the best conditioned Cloud sofa available for sale anywhere in the Western Hemisphere.

The solid American black walnut legs show exceptional old-growth woodgrains that are breathtaking from all angles. In homage to the late great Pearsall this sofa was 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.

This visually captivating sofa 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 iconic sofa can blend seamlessly against a myriad of design backdrops from Mid-Century Modern to Minimalism to Contemporary and everywhere in between. With its clever mix of curves and sharp lines, new Knoll bouclé upholstery and refinished wood this sofa is ready for a literal lifetime more of use. Make it yours today before it's truly gone forever.
