Adrian Pearsall (born 1925, Trumansburg, New York) was an American architect and mid-century furniture designer.[1]
Adrian Mount Pearsall was born in Trumansburg New York. As a young man he went to the University of Illinois and studied Architectural Engineering, graduating in 1950.[2] That same year, he married his wife Dorie Kanarr Pearsall.[3]
Adrian Pearsall founded Craft Associates in Kingston, Pennsylvania in 1952 to manufacture his own designs.[4] He initially began crafting furniture with wrought iron, but by the late 1950s his designs incorporating walnut became hugely popular.[5]
In 1962, Pearsall designed and built a home for his family in Forty Fort, Pennsylvania featuring an indoor swimming pool, atriums, and full-size ice cream bar.[5][6]
In 2023, Pearsall was posthumously inducted into the Luzerne County Arts & Entertainment Hall of Fame. He was among the Hall of Fame's inaugural class of inductees.[7]
