Audacious in it's scope, shape and materials used this sofa is a true American masterpiece. Featuring new cotton bouclé by Knoll Fabrics, new medium density foam and professionally re-finished walnut this sofa is perhaps the best conditioned Model 2006-S available for sale in North America. The mix of solid and veneered American black walnut 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.

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 platform 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 Knoll upholstery and refinished walnut this sofa is ready for a literal lifetime more of use. Make it yours today before it's gone forever.
