About the Item
A deeply expressive example of Brazilian modernism, this 1960s MP91 sofa by Percival Lafer captures the moment when structure, comfort, and craftsmanship were treated as equals.
The architectural hardwood frame is proudly exposed, showcasing through tenon and tusk wedge joinery that is as functional as it is sculptural. These bold connections are not decorative gestures but structural truths, locking the frame together with clarity and confidence. The result is a sofa that feels grounded, intentional, and enduring.
Suspended within the frame, a system of wide belt leather support straps carries an injection molded foam seat, creating a floating effect that balances visual lightness with exceptional comfort. This construction was radical for its time and remains remarkably sophisticated today, offering both resilience and a relaxed, lounge worthy sit.
The sofa has been freshly upholstered by hand in top quality Italian leather, selected for its supple feel, rich depth of color, and ability to age beautifully. Every seam, fold, and tension point has been meticulously executed, honoring the original design while elevating it for contemporary living.
Bold yet restrained, expressive yet disciplined, the MP91 is a masterclass in Brazilian design philosophy. It is a piece that reveals more the longer you live with it, where engineering becomes art and comfort is achieved through honesty of materials and form.
