Title: Set of Two ( 2 ) Mid-Century Modern Swivel Tub Chairs by Adrian Pearsall for Craft Associates in Sand Bouclé Upholstery, USA, c. 1960s
About: Adrian Pearsall’s sculptural Swivel Tub Chairs for Craft Associates are rare designs which have stood the test of time and are perfect for the modern or contemporary design project. The dramatic swooping arms are both eye-catching and an ideal curvature for comfort. Designed in the 1960's, the set of chairs is found in its original pink upholstery. These striking chairs are the perfect addition to your California Modern, Minamlist, Transitional or Eclectic design project.
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 American walnut and oak species of wood are just a few elements often found in Pearsall’s furniture and all are on display with this magnificent set of reimagined tub chairs.
Painstakingly restored by our craftsmen in exact accordance with the original pattern, this incredibly rare set of tub chairs are ideal for collectors and designers alike searching for an authentic set of Pearsall chairs that are ready for a literal lifetime more of use. Perfect for a myriad of design backdrops from Mid-Century Modern to Contemporary to Boho-Chic and everything in between these chairs are as comfortable as they are stylish. Make them yours today before they're gone forever.
Origin: United States of America
Proof: Ample Provenance - Industry Consensus
Period: 1960s
Material: Fabric | Walnut
State: Full Restoration
Condition Details: This ultra-rare set of tub chairs by Adrian Pearsall has recently undergone a comprehensive and transformative restoration process featuring new bouclé upholstery. The walnut barrel bases have been hand-sanded and refinished but some wear does remain such as scratches too deep to be sanded out and some veneer repairs (all of which can be seen in the detail photos provided). With that said the bases are in overall very good condition and the variegated woodgrains of the walnut are absolutely stunning in natural light.
The upholstery, redone in a kind-to-the-touch beige (or "sand") bouclé, is in showroom condition and the seat cushions have been replaced for maximum comfort and longevity. Both chairs swivel 360 degrees with ease.
These extraordinary tub chairs are incredibly comfortable, structurally sound and ready for a literal lifetime or of use thanks to their recent restoration process. Please view all photos and natural light video for details on this set's current condition. We're limited on the amount of media we can post so additional photos and videos in natural light are available upon request.
