About the Item

This very nice set with possibillity up to 6 MP93 lounge chairs, designed and manufactured by Percival Lafer MP in Brazil in 1972, represents a rare and exquisite example of mid-century modern design. Percival Lafer was one of Brazil’s most prominent furniture designers, known for producing high-quality, large-scale furniture while maintaining a strong sense of craftsmanship. However, the MP93 model is less common and especially hard to find in its original, well-preserved condition, making this set particularly special. The chairs feature a distinctive, bulky, and voluptuous form, exuding comfort and style. Their geometric legs, crafted from solid jatoba wood, add a refined constructional detail that enhances the visual appeal of the design. The seat is made of dark brown leather, which hangs elegantly from sturdy canvas straps, which remain discreetly hidden beneath the leather, contributing to the chair’s clean, minimalist look. A nice detail is the leather belts on the seats which appear to hold everything together, where in fact this was only an aesthetci addition to the design. The chairs are in very good original condition, with only minimal patina from years of usage that adds character to their already timeless design. Each chair offers a combination of exceptional craftsmanship and classic aesthetic, with the perfect balance of luxurious materials and functional design. A matching set of 6 chairs is available, and these chairs are priced and sold per chair if wanted. Literature; Percival Lafer Design, Industry and Marketplace 2018, page 120. When it comes to mid-century furniture, the innovative work of Brazilian modernists like Percival Lafer has often been overlooked. Lafer, who initially studied architecture at São Paulo’s Universidade Mackenzie, took over his family’s furniture business after his father’s passing. This led him to transition from architecture to furniture design in 1961, with a focus on creating thoughtful and beautifully designed pieces that were also affordable. Lafer’s work remains an important and influential part of mid-century modern furniture design, and this MP93 set is a perfect example of his remarkable legacy.

Percival Lafer MP-116 Modular Lounge Chair, Brazil 1970s Rare Set of 4 available
By Percival Lafer, De Sede, Sergio Rodrigues
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...
