The MP-81 Lounge Chair, designed by Percival Lafer in 1958, is a key piece in Brazilian mid-century furniture design. Lafer, a renowned architect and industrial designer, is known for combining low-profile hardwood frames with plush leather upholstery to create accessible, stylish furniture. The MP-81 features a unique structure of two joined fiberglass shells forming a rigid unit, supported by solid wood feet attached with screw nuts. Its adjustable back feet allow two versions—with or without a headrest—offering customizable comfort and a laidback posture, showcasing Lafer’s innovative approach to form and function.
