About the Item

These very rare and documented set of Percival Lafer 'MP-75' lounge chairs, designed and produced in the 1970s. This rare set of four (4) lounge chairs which feature Brazilian Rosewood (Jacaranda) buckles were acquired by us in a home in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Documented in the recent Lafer book (we included a photo of this page in the photos of this listing), these examples are earlier examples with interior wood frames instead of fiberglass which was used in the later 70s. Also built on a plinth base which makes the height slightly taller. Based on the age of materials and construction we attribute these to the early 1970s. Not many of these were made and are extremely rare - also very sought-after by die-hard Brazilian Modern And Lafer collectors. Our favorite part of this design are the Jacaranda buckles on each chair. Such unique details that really make this set special. The original leatherette is attractive and in good vintage condition, collectors will probably prefer to use the beautiful leatherette, but also consider reupholstering to bouclé or a new leather color of your choice. It's a tough choice - and if you can't decide, just buy and use the chairs in its existing upholstery and you can always reupholster it in the future at any time you wish =) These MP75 easy chairs by Percival Lafer would work great in a Mid-Century Modern, Scandanavian Modern or Danish Modern home or penthouse apartment but could also look fantastic in a Contemporary or Post-Modern room. Also consider mixing it up in a Traditional, Transitional, Classical or Art Deco room with a splash of juxtaposition. Would also be an apt choice in a commercial project such as a hotel lobby lounge or members club, creative design studio or high-rise executive office. Consider using as side chairs, bedside chairs, fireside chairs, dressing or changing room chairs, hallway chairs, entryway or mudroom chairs, nursing or reading chairs, conference room chairs, office or desk guest chairs, lobby lounge chairs or occasional chairs ideal in virtually any setting. MEASUREMENTS: H 28.5" x W 24.5" x D 31" Seat Height: 16" Seat Depth: 17" CONDITION: Good vintage condition with age appropriate wear and patina. The leatherette is original and therefore we decided to keep it instead of reupholstering. From a collectors standpoint it is fantastic to keep the original upholstery. However for interior designers, this is also an excellent opportunity to reupholster to something new and trendy. If you are interested in having us reupholster these prior to shipping contact us for details and a quote.

Percival Lafer MP-116 Modular Lounge Chair, Brazil 1970s Rare Set of 4 available
By De Sede, Sergio Rodrigues, Percival Lafer
Located in Chattanooga, TN
An exceptional and increasingly scarce example of the Percival Lafer MP-116 modular lounge system, produced in Brazil in the 1970s and offered here as an individual seating unit. A total of four matching modules are available, an extremely rare occurrence for this model. Sets of this size, in this level of preservation, almost never reach the market. The MP-116 represents one of Lafer’s most sculptural and architecturally ambitious seating designs, defined by its distinctive pillow-block construction, deeply gathered leather upholstery, and the refined engineering that characterizes his most collectible work. Each module is crafted from four generously padded, individually upholstered leather blocks that create the sensuous, soft geometry that has made the MP-116 one of the most coveted designs of Lafer’s career. Upholstered in a rich, dark-chocolate leather, the cushions retain their fullness and tactile depth, presenting in very good original condition with the kind of surface character and luster that collectors seek. The frames are executed in solid Brazilian Jatobá hardwood, a dense, high-value tropical species noted for its strength and warm, glowing tonality. The timber displays exceptional grain clarity and remains in outstanding condition, underscoring the longevity and craftsmanship of this early production. The MP-116 was conceived as a genuinely forward-thinking modular system—far more sophisticated than most mid-century modular seating. A single unit makes a striking lounge chair with its sculptural massing and enveloping comfort, while multiple units can be combined into expansive sofas, balanced loveseats, long chaises, or asymmetrical compositions suited to contemporary architectural interiors. The ability to acquire four identical modules offers a level of design freedom, visual coherence, and spatial flexibility that is virtually impossible to source today. For designers and collectors working at a high level, this is an opportunity to build a complete, historically correct MP-116 suite. This listing is for one MP-116 lounge seat, though up to four matching pieces are available. The set comes directly from the original owner and is accompanied by photocopies of the 1973 Brazil Contempo...
