Title: Mid-Century Modern Model 2167S Platform Boomerang Sofa in Jack Lenor Larsen Fabric by Adrian Pearsall for Craft Associates, USA, c. 1960's
About: Designed by the incomparable Adrian Pearsall, this iconic Platform "Boomerang" sofa is the epitome of functional art. 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.

Condition Details: Save for a few minor veneer repairs this extraordinary Boomerang Platform sofa is in original, vintage condition. The original Jack Lenor Larsen upholstery does show some signs of wear such as small stains and areas of discoloration (the worst of which can be seen in the detail photos provided). With that said there are no rips, fraying or odors present whatsoever. We do offer re-upholstery services, if this interests you please message us prior to checkout to discuss pricing and options.
The American black walnut veneer shows only light scratches and small repairs (both of which can be seen in the detail photos provided). With that said the wood is in overall very good condition and shows no gouges, stains or other damage whatsoever and the woodgrains are absolutely mesmerizing in natural light.
This expansive sofa is incredibly comfortable, structurally sound and ready for a decades more of use. Please view all photos for details on this boomerang's current condition. We're limited on the amount of media we can post so we recommend requesting additional photos and videos in natural light for added context on this sofa's condition.
