$6,800 · 1960s Brazilian Wood and Leather MP91 Sofa by Percival Lafer

A powerful and highly refined example of Brazilian modern design, the MP91 sofa by Percival Lafer is defined by its unapologetically structural language and exceptional craftsmanship. The sculptural frame is constructed with exposed through tenon joinery secured by tusk wedges, celebrating engineering as a central visual element rather than concealing it. The seating experience is equally considered. A foam injected seat rests effortlessly on leather slung straps, creating a suspension like comfort that adapts naturally to the body while maintaining crisp architectural lines. This balance of strength and ease is a hallmark of Lafer’s best work. Meticulously reupholstered by hand, the sofa is finished in all new black leather from ElmoSoft, Sweden, chosen for its supple hand, durability, and ability to age beautifully over time. The leather pairs seamlessly with the bold frame, enhancing both comfort and visual depth. Presented in outstanding condition, this MP91 is a rare and compelling statement piece. A sofa that reads as furniture, architecture, and sculpture all at once, equally at home in a serious collection or a design led interior.
