Adrian Pearsall, b. 1925 was an architect turned furniture designer, and life long creator whose pieces embodied Atomic Age design. From small beginnings, Pearsall was born in New York, joined the US Navy at age 17, and graduated from the University of Illinois in 1950 with a degree in Architectural Engineering. In 1952, he created his manufacturing brand Craft Associates with his wife and brother, and thus began his foray into furniture design. Pearsall’s pieces were soon sought after, and his use of walnut wood became hugely popular in the late 1950s. Pearsall is also credited with creation of the low gondola sofa and the popularization of the beanbag chair. Pearsall’s designs were coveted by consumers in the ’50s and ’60s due to the high-style flair the pieces of his collection made available to the public. He used materials, bold shapes and color combinations never before seen by the mass market. Pearsall’s confident knowledge of what shapes and textiles would work in his designs set him apart from other furniture manufacturers of the time, and Craft Associates went on to be one of the 1950s’ most prominent furniture designers. Many attribute his bold design choices to his background as an architect. Pearsall’s most notable project was the redesign of his family’s home in Pennsylvania, dubbed the Forty Fort. The architectural marvel was floor-to-ceiling designed by Pearsall himself, as were the furnishings within. The 10,000-square-foot home was even dubbed a masterpiece of the Atomic Age, and has since been sold outside the family. After selling his brand, Craft Associates, Pearsall moved on to his next project, Comfort Designs, truly never retiring from creating. At Comfort Designs, Pearsall continued to make furniture that many admired for years. A man who always worked with meticulous craftsmanship, Pearsall eventually moved from furniture creation to yacht restoration later in life.
