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. Moving forward, Craft Associates Furniture will continue to design and produce timeless objects of beauty which posses the uniqueness and character of vintage combined with the freshness of modern times.

Lawrence Peabody, an architect, interior designer, and furniture designer, was born in 1924 in Haverhill, MA.
Mr. Peabody often preferred the name "Larry" instead of Lawrence although he tended to use the name Lawrence professionally.
He was known to be a flaming extrovert and was rarely reserved in his opinions.
He had a clear love of design even choosing the Navy because he liked the uniforms.
After serving in WWII he was able to take advantage of the GI Bill.
This allowed him to study at the Rhode Island School of Design.
