Did Pearsall design these? I can't find an image of them in the catalog nor a photo of one with a Craft Associates label. https://www.1stdibs.com/furniture/seating/lounge-chairs/pair-of-low-wide-barrel-chairs-craft-associates/id-f_451340/and here: https://www.1stdibs.com/furniture/seating/lounge-chairs/pair-of-adrian-pearsall-lounge-chairs/id-f_1762082/
Yes, they are Pearsall chairs. Not all of his designs are in the catalog that can still be found online here (which I include just for reference):

I reupholstered one of those chairs once and can also confirm that it was Pearsall just from that experience. He used unique construction methods.
Pick a fabric with some give to it. Hand stitch the perimeter for a nice finishng touch. Use good foam.
The curved plywood back on the one that I did was all chewed up along the bottom edge where the factory and the previous upholsterer had put screws in badly and splintered the wood. I laid chipboard over the plywood right up to the edge and stapled it in place, then put some kind of padding over that (I think probably 3/4" poly upholstery batting). The finished chair back at the bottom edge was perfect, no lumps or bumps at all.
