Title: Mid-Century Modern Low Profile 916-CC Captains Chair in Oak by Adrian Pearsall for Craft Associates, USA, c. 1960's
About: Designed by the incomparable Adrian Pearsall, this iconic Model 916-CC Captain's Chair is the epitome of functional art. Visually stunning and audacious in shape and materials used this 916-CC is a true American Modern masterpiece. Featuring new geometric patterned, heavy knit fabric, new medium-density foam for maximum comfort and a solid oak frame that is in 100% original, vintage condition this Model 916 is perhaps the best conditioned 916 chair available for sale in North America.
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 armchair.
This truly extraordinary Model 916 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 low-profile armchair can blend seamlessly against a myriad of design backdrops from Mid-Century Modern to Contemporary to Boho-Chic. Make it yours today before it's gone forever.
