The MP-97 chair, one of Lafer's more popular and recognizable designs, is constructed of a solid rosewood frame with a series of leather straps which form a sling for the upholstered leather seating form. The thick leather straps are riveted taut to one another and secured to the frame by tension with the original rosewood dowels.

This classic chair representing the pinnacle of vintage Brazilian modernist design has been expertly restored by our shop and now features a rich, warm leather cushion that is sure to be a fantastic focal point of your living space.

Measurements: 36" wide, 36" deep, 30" high, 17.5" seat height.

Condition: Our restoration team has reupholstered the seating form in a full grain European leather, which represents the "top end" of upholstery leathers on the market. Customers should be educated that the leather is intended to distress with use, lightening slightly in color and showing superficial surface markings, thus creating a vintage appearance. A quality leather conditioner will help even out the wear and further enhance its beauty over time. The rosewood chair frame has been professionally refinished in accordance with the original method and appearance, which rounds out the meticulous restoration of this piece by our team. See less
