This pair of MP 97 armchairs, designed by Percival Lafer and produced by MOVEIS LAFER in Brazil in the 1970s, exemplifies the character of South American modernism. Their structure features a jatoba wood frame in a deep, warm brown with a matte-satin finish and visible grain.

The thick, plush cushions and low, wide silhouette emphasize comfort, which is a hallmark of the era’s Brazilian design. Exposed silvery bolts and fittings — custom-made to the original specification — reinforce the design’s honest, industrial quality, while the wide, flat legs highlight the armchairs’ monumental presence. Each chair is marked with an aluminum manufacturer’s label.

The leather, sometimes glossy, sometimes subdued, tells a story of time passing — as if recording the daily life of São Paulo living rooms, afternoon conversations, and moments of relaxation. The metal bolts act as a signature of sorts: a reminder of an era when technical solutions were not hidden, but embraced as part of the aesthetic.The MP 97 armchairs could be paired with a low coffee table in wood or glass to accentuate their sculptural lines. They would suit interiors inspired by mid-century modernism or eclectic, collector’s settings, where minimalist lighting, textiles in neutral shades, and large-leaved plants would further enhance their southern
