Designed by the incomparable Adrian Pearsall, this iconic platform sofa is the epitome of functional art. Audacious in it's scope, shape and materials used this three-seater sofa is a true American masterpiece. Reupholstered by the previous owner in a polyester blend fabric similar to the original, this daybed features a solid black walnut band replete with outstanding variegated woodgrains set atop an archetypally monolithic base painted matte black.
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 three-seater sofa.
This stylish 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 petite sofa is ideal for those who are limited in space but unwilling to compromise on style and can blend seamlessly against a myriad of design backdrops from Mid-Century Modern to Minimalism to Space Age. Make it yours today before it's gone forever.

The … moreSave for updated upholstery, this stunning three-seater sofa by Adrian Pearsall for Craft Associates is in original vintage condition. The upholstery, redone by the previous owners several decades ago, is in overall very good condition showing only minor areas of fading (which can be seen in the natural light video provided) but showing no tears, odors or stains. The solid black walnut banding shows only minor signs of wear such as minor pressure dings and minor surface scratches both of which can be seen in the detail photos provided. With that said the walnut is in overall very good condition and the old-growth woodgrains are absolutely arresting in natural light. The platform base shows no discernable wear whatsoever. This iconic sofa is incredibly comfortable, structurally sound and ready for a literal lifetime more of use thanks to its recent restoration. Please view all photos and natural light video provided for details on this sofa's current condition. We're limited on the amount of media we can post so additional photos and videos are available upon request. less
