Brazilian Modern MP-41 Sofa by Percival Lafer

Brazilian modernism has always favored warmth over minimalism, and few designers embodied that philosophy better than Percival Lafer. The MP-41 sofa combines a sculptural hardwood frame with sling-style leather cushions that seem to float within the structure, creating a seat that's every bit as inviting as it is eye-catching. This restored example features newly fabricated support straps and fresh black leather upholstery faithful to the original specification, preserving the deep, relaxed comfort that helped make Lafer's work a cult favorite among mid-century collectors. Rich Brazilian hardwood and supple leather come together in a design that proves engineering and elegance can share the same silhouette.
