These very rare and documented set of Percival Lafer 'MP-75' lounge chairs, designed and produced in the 1970s. This rare set of four (4) lounge chairs which feature Brazilian Rosewood (Jacaranda) buckles were acquired by us in a home in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Documented in the recent Lafer book (we included a photo of this page in the photos of this listing), these examples are earlier examples with interior wood frames instead of fiberglass which was used in the later 70s. Also built on a plinth base which makes the height slightly taller. Based on the age of materials and construction we attribute these to the early 1970s. Not many of these were made and are extremely rare - also very sought-after by die-hard Brazilian Modern and Lafer collectors.
Our favorite part of this design are the Jacaranda buckles on each chair. Such unique details that really make this set special. The original leatherette is attractive and in good vintage condition, collectors will probably prefer to use the beautiful leatherette, but also consider reupholstering to bouclé or a new leather color of your choice. It's a tough choice - and if you can't decide, just buy and use the chairs in its existing upholstery and you can always reupholster it in the future at any time you wish =)
These MP75 easy chairs by Percival Lafer would work great in a Mid-Century Modern, Scandanavian Modern or Danish Modern home or penthouse apartment but could also look fantastic in a Contemporary or Post-Modern room. Also consider mixing it up in a Traditional, Transitional, Classical or Art Deco room with a splash of juxtaposition. Would also be an apt choice in a commercial project such as a hotel lobby lounge or members club, creative design studio or high-rise executive office. Consider using as side chairs, bedside chairs, fireside chairs, dressing or changing room chairs, entryway or mudroom chairs, nursing or reading chairs, conference room chairs, office or desk guest chairs, lobby lounge chairs or occasional chairs ideal in virtually any setting.

CONDITION:
Good vintage condition with age appropriate wear and patina. The leatherette is original and therefore we decided to keep it instead of reupholstering. From a collectors standpoint it is fantastic to keep the original upholstery. However for interior designers, this is also an excellent opportunity to reupholster to something new and trendy.
