Audacious in it's scope, shape and materials used this sofa is a true American masterpiece. Featuring the original Jack Lenor Larsen upholstery this sofa is simultaneously artistically complex, yet subtle - the perfect love child born of two of America's greatest artisans of the mid-century period. The veneered American black walnut base shows exceptional old-growth woodgrains that are breathtaking from all angles and perfectly offset by the trademark flat-black base.

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 Contemporary. Make it yours today before it's gone forever.
