Percival Lafer Couch MP-41 in New Black leather and Brazilian Hardwood

Creator: Percival Lafer
Offered by: Hobbs Modern

Description
An icon of Brazilian modernism, the MP-41 sofa by Percival Lafer is celebrated for its bold architectural frame, ingenious construction, and extraordinary comfort.

This example is currently in process, undergoing a careful, historically accurate restoration. New support straps are being fabricated now, ensuring proper tension, longevity, and the deep, relaxed sit that made Lafer’s designs famous. The sofa will be upholstered in brand-new black leather, selected to be true to the original specification—supple, durable, and richly finished to honor the designer’s intent.

Lafer’s genius lies in the way structure and comfort coexist. The sculptural Brazilian hardwood frame cradles the body, while the sling-style leather cushions create a seating experience that is exceptionally comfortable—supportive yet relaxed, with just the right amount of give. It is the kind of sofa you sink into, one that invites long conversations, afternoon reading, and slow evenings at home.

The warm tone and dramatic grain of the solid Brazilian hardwood contrast beautifully with the crisp black leather, creating a look that is both refined and distinctly modern—equally at home in a minimalist interior or a richly layered Mid-Century space.

Once completed, this MP-41 will be a standout example of Brazilian design at its best: sculptural, luxurious, and deeply comfortable.
