-
Description
The "mp-29" set was designed by Percival Lafer in the 1960s, initially consisting of a three-seater sofa, armchair, stool, and coffee tables. All parts have the same structural design.
The architectural structure of these armchairs and the evident details of an intelligent and unique assembly part results in a piece of brilliant aesthetics and unique design.
The structure is made of solid Brazilian hardwood and the details are made of Iron.
The pieces were restored by one of our best craftsmen in São Paulo and kept their 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. -
