About the Item

Designed by Jan-Erik Lindgren in 1977 for Ekornes Fabrikker, Norway, the Party armchair is a standout example of Norwegian postmodern design with bold material contrast and structural honesty. Its architectural frame, built from dark-stained pine, is accented with exposed copper joinery that gives the piece a floating, stacked-plank appearance. The generously tufted cushions are upholstered in thick, cognac-toned leather that has developed a rich patina over time, adding character and warmth to the strong lines of the frame. The low, square form is both sculptural and inviting, bridging rustic Nordic craftsmanship with brutalist modernism. This chair is in excellent vintage condition. The leather has been carefully cleaned and conditioned, and the wood frame has been polished by our team to highlight its natural grain and coloration. A rare and collectible piece that embodies the experimental spirit of late-70s Scandinavian design. Ideal for collectors, designers, and interiors seeking something sculptural, tactile, and historically grounded.

Percival Lafer “MP-41” Armchair for Lafer MP, 1972
By Percival Lafer
Located in Lonigo, Veneto
Percival Lafer “MP-41” Armchair for Lafer MP, wood and cognac leather, Brazil, 1972 The “MP-41” armchair by Percival Lafer embraces fluidity with a structure that appears weightless despite its solid rosewood frame. The absence of visible crossbars beneath the seat enhances this effect, allowing the thick, tufted cushion to seemingly float. The upholstery drapes over the structure like silk fabric on a sculpted form, a harmonious integration of material and frame. The butterfly-shaped joints refine the frame’s construction, tapering toward the center for a softened profile. The lateral tufting on the seat is not merely decorative—it creates a structured geometry that follows the contours of the body. The armrests, backrest, and seat merge into a single, uninterrupted form, maximizing ergonomic support. Leather straps secure the cushion to the frame, a signature Lafer detail that blends artisanal technique with industrial efficiency. The MP-41 prioritizes organic curves over strict geometric lines. The deep cognac leather, aged to a rich patina, enhances the warmth of the rosewood. The absence of ornamentation shifts focus to the raw materials, celebrating their natural textures and variations. Unlike Jean Gillon...
