Title: Rare Mid-Century Modern Model 2006-S Platform Sofa in Walnut & White Knoll Bouclé by Adrian Pearsall for Craft Associates, USA, c. 1960s
About: Designed by the incomparable Adrian Pearsall, this iconic Model 2006-S Platform Sofa is the epitome of functional art. Audacious in it's scope, shape and materials used this sofa is a true American masterpiece. Featuring new cotton bouclé by Knoll Fabrics, new medium density foam and professionally re-finished walnut this sofa is perhaps the best conditioned Model 2006-S available for sale in North America. The mix of solid and veneered American black walnut shows exceptional old-growth woodgrains that are breathtaking from all angles. In homage to the late great Pearsall this sofa was painstakingly restored using the same techniques, materials and sewing patterns used by the Craft Associates factory.
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 Brutalism. With its clever mix of curves and sharp lines, new Knoll upholstery and refinished walnut this sofa is ready for a literal lifetime more of use. Make it yours today before it's gone forever.

Condition Details: This stunning Model 2006-S Platform sofa by Adrian Pearsall for Craft Associates has recently undergone a comprehensive and transformative restoration process and the results speak for themselves. The upholstery, redone in a fabulous white bouclé by Knoll Fabrics is in showroom, never-sat-in condition and features new medium density foam for maximum comfort.
The solid walnut banding and veneered built in table tops have been sanded down and refinished by hand using the same materials and techniques applied by the Craft Associates factory and show only minor signs of damage such as minor dents (relegated to the underside of the banding) and surface scratches which can be seen in the detail photos provided. With that said the walnut is in overall very good condition and the old-growth woodgrains are absolutely arresting in natural light.
This iconic sofa is incredibly comfortable, structurally sound and ready for a literal lifetime more of use thanks to its recent restoration.
