The MP-81 Leather Sofa, designed by Percival Lafer in the 1960s, is a hallmark of Brazilian mid-century furniture design. Lafer, an influential architect and industrial designer, is known for blending low-profile hardwood frames with plush leather upholstery to create accessible, elegant pieces. The sofa’s structure features two joined fiberglass shells forming a rigid unit, supported by solid wood feet attached with screw nuts. Its adjustable back feet allow for two versions—with or without a headrest—offering customizable comfort and a relaxed posture, reflecting Lafer’s innovative approach to form and function.
