You'll Cherish this Chair. . . .

The epitome of mid-century modern design, this chair resembles the designs of renown American furniture creator Adrian Pearsall, with its low-slung design, soft organic curves, and wood accents. 

Pearsall was born in Trumansburg, New York, in 1925. He graduated from the University of Illinois in 1950 with a degree in architectural engineering degree and in 1952 founded Craft Associates. In the beginning, Pearsall built and designed his furniture in his basement, selling his creations from the back of a truck. However, his innovation designs that perfectly combined functionality with the modernistic aesthetic quickly caught on. His company expanded, opening a factory in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania. Ever an innovator, Pearsall created hundreds of furniture designs, from glass-topped free-form walnut coffee tables to his famed "gondola" sofas and chairs, so named because their low curved form resembles a gondola. In 1969, the company was sold to Lane Furniture Company, so that Pearsall could focus on sailing and yacht restoration. He died in 2011.
