Percival Lafer MP-75 Lounge Chairs w Rosewood Buckles, 1970 Brazil, Set of Four

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
