Adrian Pearsall Wave Lounge in Plush Faux Vanilla Bean Shearling on Walnut Legs

Chaise lounges should always beckon with relaxation and comfort and this Adrian Pearsall Wave Chaise delivers just that fully restored with new foam cushions and fresh cozy faux vanilla bean shearling. Soft. Supple. Perhaps one of the most iconic mid century chaise lounge designs of the time and immediately recognized as Adrian Pearsall by all aficionados of designer mid century furnishings. This Pearsall chaise lounge was restored from top to bottom. Richly grained walnut conical legs were professionally restored with a satin finish, as per original design. Sculptural and beautiful. Timelessly aligning you in ergonomic comfort for whatever the activity you love most. Get cozy with a morning paper… a glass of wine overlooking a ski slope… or that book you can’t seem to put down. Add a cozy wool throw. Bliss. Photographed along with and also available in our shop – Edward Wormley for Dunbar Sheaf of Wheat Table with Travertine Top

“Adrian Pearsall designed some of the most exuberant and expressive American chairs, sofas and other furniture of the 1950s and ’60s. For verve and vivacity of form, he surpasses even Vladimir Kagan — whose work is the emblem of swinging, sexy mid-20th century modernism. Pearsall gave his imagination free rein, and his flamboyant, eye-catching styles are icons of what has become known as “Atomic Age” design. Pearsall studied architectural engineering at the University of Illinois before opening his Pennsylvania furniture company, Craft Associates, in 1952, and that training shows in many designs. A Pearsall trademark, for example, is a lounge chair with an exceptionally tall, trapezoidal back, which give the pieces a skyscraper-like silhouette. Pearsall also had a talent for so-called Gondola sofas — long, low-slung pieces with upswept ends. Many of Pearsall’s sofas and chairs are supported not by legs, but on gently arced walnut skids. Pearsall had a gift for tables, too, in particular glass-topped side tables and coffee tables with frames that have the look of an Alexander Calder stabile. As you will see from the offerings on 1stDibs, Pearsall had flair, and his work adds an attention-getting, sculptural exclamation point to any décor.”
