Between  the 1950’s and 1970’s American designer Adrian Pearsall was one of  America’s most successful post-war furniture designers while leading  first Craft Associates, and then Comfort Designs. Both companies were  based in Pennsylvania, with Craft Associates at one time being the  largest employer in Wilkes-Barre after its beginnings in the basement of  a Kingston, PA duplex.

Adrian  Pearsall was known for bold designs which brought the ‘high style’ of  the Atomic Age and Mid-Century Modern, to the masses. Here with Bianca ,  Adrian’s son Jim Pearsall recounts his father’s career from the  perspective of both a son and a colleague, having been a manufacturer’s  represenative for Adrian’s designs.
