Monumental Adrian Pearsall Brutalist Wall Mounted Disc Dry Bar, 1970's

Creator: Adrian Pearsall
Offered by: Habitat-Gallery

Description
Available right now we have this increasingly rare, mid century modern, brutalist disc bar by Adrian Pearsall for Craft Associates. This brutalist wall mounted disc cabinet is definitely a conversation piece-- stretching a whopping 48" in diameter, this disc dar opens to reveal a mirrored back as well as 2 shelf inserts.

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and this entire brutalist line of furniture appears to have (pretty obviously) been inspired by American craft movement designer Paul Evans, who designed nearly identical pieces which were available through Directional Furniture to the trade in the 1960's and 1970's.

While this piece doesn't have the pedigree of an original Paul Evans piece, what is does have is an abundance of over-the-top maximalist style with a much more palatable price tag.

Without being mounted to the wall, this piece was a little tougher than an average piece to photograph, but for scale purposes we photographed it resting on the floor alongside a Fabricius and Kastholm grasshopper chair to showcase just how large this beautiful statement piece actually is.

These disc cabinet bars come onto the market from time to time, but more and more few and far between. As Paul Evans popularity has increased, so has the popularity of these Adrian Pearsall pieces. This is a wonderful functional work of art that would look incredible in any contemporary, boho chic, or modern home. This piece is currently in the gallery paired with a Vladimir Kagan cloud sofa and with subdued, curvier pieces, this maximalist piece makes a more subtle, yet bold statement.
