Upholstered in original dark brown leather and set on a sculptural pau ferro wood base, this sofa exemplifies lafer’s meticulous approach to ergonomics, comfort, and technical craftsmanship.

its construction features a solid internal frame supporting a continuous seat and backrest, while molded fiberglass shells are joined into a single rigid element, combining strength with a seamless aesthetic. The leather upholstery delivers both comfort and long-term durability.

the solid wood feet are mechanically attached and designed for easy disassembly, reflecting lafer’s focus on efficient production and transportability. Technically sophisticated and materially refined, this rare mp-81 two-seater stands as a striking testament to lafer’s lasting impact on brazilian modern furniture design.
