Crafted in São Paulo, Brazil, the set features sumptuous leather upholstery supported by sleek chrome-plated steel bases, creating a striking contrast between soft, organic contours and refined modernist design.

The lounge chair features a generously cushioned, deeply reclined silhouette with a gracefully curved backrest that flows into the seat, enveloping the sitter in comfort. Beautifully executed tufting and carefully stitched leather panels accentuate its sculptural shape, while the matching ottoman echoes the chair's plush design. Over decades, the original leather has developed a rich natural patina, lending warmth, depth, and an unmistakable character only authentic vintage leather can achieve. The original manufacturer's label is also retained, providing its authenticity.

Percival Lafer is among Brazil's most influential modern furniture designers, celebrated for his pioneering use of leather, innovative construction techniques, and emphasis on ergonomic comfort. His designs helped define Brazilian modernism in the 1960s and 1970s, blending expressive forms, luxurious materials, and practical ingenuity.

The Earth Chair is particularly compelling for its ability to combine exceptional comfort with a bold sculptural identity. Its inviting silhouette, beautifully aged leather, and distinctive chrome framework embody the relaxed luxury of 1970s design, making this an enduring example of Brazilian modern furniture.

Ottoman dimensions: 26” W × 20.5” D × 14.75” H
