A leader in early modern furniture design, Adrian Pearsall graduated from the University of Illinois with a degree in architectural engineering in 1950. Pearsall founded Craft Associates in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania and became one of the country’s most prominent furniture designers during the mid-century “Atomic Age", the period of history following the detonation of the first atomic bomb. Often known for his daring designs which brought high-style to the masses, he is credited with the creation of long and low gondola sofas, free-form walnut and glass tables, and the popularization of the bean bag chair. You may have spotted the coffee table (above) in our current display window, but we invite you to come in and see these elegant tables up close.
