Set of Four Percival Lafer 'MP-116' Modular Lounge Chairs

An exceptionally rare set of four Percival Lafer MP-116 Modular Lounge Chairs, designed in Brazil during the 1970s. Among the most sculptural and elusive designs from Lafer’s celebrated body of work, the MP-116 perfectly captures the relaxed elegance of Brazilian Modernism—where comfort, craftsmanship, and organic form exist in perfect balance. Complete sets of four are seldom offered, making this an extraordinary opportunity for collectors and designers alike.

The MP-116 is defined by its distinctive low-slung silhouette and generously proportioned, overstuffed cushions that appear to float effortlessly above the frame. Deeply gathered upholstery creates a soft, architectural form that invites lounging, while beautifully sculpted solid rosewood accents provide a warm contrast and showcase the exceptional woodworking for which Percival Lafer is renowned. The result is a chair that feels equally at home in a refined modern interior or a relaxed conversation pit.

Designed with comfort as the primary objective, these chairs offer an exceptionally deep, cushioned seat that encourages long, leisurely conversations, reading, or simply unwinding. Their modular nature allows them to be arranged individually, in pairs, or grouped together to create a dramatic lounge setting with unmistakable Brazilian character.

These will be professionally restored by Hobbs Modern, each chair will been carefully preserved to honor the original design while ensuring decades of continued enjoyment. The rosewood accents display beautiful warmth and figure, complementing the inviting, pillow-like upholstery that has made the MP-116 one of Percival Lafer’s most coveted and recognizable creations.

Why We Love It
