The walnut-veneered platform base has been sanded, refinished, and painted in accordance with the original materials and colors and shows only minor veneer repairs, light scratches and nicks (the worst of which can be seen in the details photos provided). With that said the wood is in overall very good condition and the walnut woodgrains, perfectly offset by the matte-black base, are absolutely captivating in natural light. The upholstery, redone in a fabulous vibrant red woolen fabric with a vintage-feeling heavy weave, is in showroom condition and upholstered to the exact measurements and patterns as the original scheme and even features the original foam cushions. This sofa can comfortably seat four and up to five. This iconic sofa is ultra-comfortable, structurally sound and ready for a literal lifetime more of use thanks to it's recent restoration. Please view all photos for details on this sofa's current condition. We're limited on the amount of media we can post so additional photos are available upon request. less

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 sofa is a true American masterpiece. Featuring new heavy ply wool fabric, new support straps and professionally re-finished wood this sofa is perhaps the best conditioned platform sofa available for sale in North America. The veneered American black walnut base shows 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 monolithic 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 expansive sofa can blend seamlessly against a myriad of design backdrops from Mid-Century Modern to Minimalism to Brutalism. With its clever mix of curves and sharp lines, new upholstery and refinished wood this sofa is ready for a literal lifetime more of use. Make it yours today before it's gone forever.
