The original Craft Associates, Inc. was a furniture company created in 1952 by Adrian Pearsall. The walnut designs started in the late 50's skyrocketing sales and taking Mr. Pearsall beyond all others in residential design. The company grew from 6 to 800 employees and was sold in 1968 to the well-known Lane Furniture Company.
Pearsall went on to form another company while Lane eventually halted production and sales by the late seventies and closed Craft Associates for good. Recognizing desire for vintage Craft Associates furniture and a lack in the market of new, quality mid-century inspired designs; we sought to revive Craft Associates Furniture and did.
That same year we began building the improved furniture in the United States with the intension of reflecting the spirit of the period while improving the functionality of the product. Although visually rivaling great vintage designs, the construction, upholstery and quality of materials have been drastically altered.
