Adrian Pearsall

September 18, 1925 – September 6, 2011

 

Adrian Pearsall was born in Trumansburg, New York. Pearsall attended the University of Illinois and studied Architectural Engineering. He graduated in 1950, and in 1952 founded Craft Associates to manufacture his own designs. Pearsall’s designs are considered to be part of the ‘Atomic Age’ and are  icons of this period.

Manufacturer

The original Craft Associates, Inc. was a furniture company created in 1952 by Adrian Pearsall. The walnut designs started in the late 50’s skyrocketing sales and taking Mr. Pearsall beyond all others in residential design. The company grew from 6 to 800 employees and was sold in 1968 to the well-known Lane Furniture Company. Pearsall went on to form another company while Lane eventually halted production and sales by the late seventies and closed Craft Associates for good.
