Pair of "MP-25" Armchairs, Percival Lafer, Brazilian Mid-Century Modern
-
Description
The mp-25 model, created in 1967 by Percival Lafer was thought and developed through a mixture of elements from other models, such as the mp-13 structure, the mp-19 arms, and the idea of unique upholstery of the mp-01 model. The mix of ideas resulted in a beautiful piece that represents very well the imaginative mind of the designer. It is an outstanding and rare piece, capable of bringing personality to any ambiance.
Its structure is entirely made out of solid Brazilian Hardwood. Chrome iron fittings and seat and backrest upholstered. The combination of the solid Brazilian Hardwood structure with the chrome fittings makes it a unique design. A beautiful piece with a sculptural design.
The pair was restored by one of our best craftsmen in São Paulo and kept its original aura and attraction.
Architect and designer Percival Lafer believed that instead of idealizing design, often conceived as art, a piece could only be considered really relevant if it pleased the public, not just the creator.
He is not just recognized for his originality and innovation, but he is also one of the pioneers of the industrialization of the Brazilian design processes. His pieces have an excellent design quality and are made of the best materials and techniques available in traditional furniture making. For him "each project should reflect the state of the art applied to new ideas". Ahead of his time, he was a pioneer in the search for new technical resources and also in the use and combinations of materials with originality and boldness. His creations ended up conquering the world, thus helping to give new meaning to the idea of Brazilian furniture. -
