Designed by Percival Lafer during the 1960s and produced in Brazil, the MP-13 sofa reflects the combination of generous comfort, exposed construction, and expressive materials that characterized Lafer’s approach to Brazilian modern furniture.
This substantial four-seat example is organized around an exposed solid Brazilian rosewood frame, with the upholstered body suspended within the structure rather than concealing it. Rounded legs, strong horizontal rails, and exposed wooden fastening details give the sofa an architectural character while allowing the deeply cushioned seat, back, and arms to remain visually soft and relaxed.
The sofa retains its original black leather upholstery, displaying a pronounced patina developed through decades of use. The leather shows extensive wear, creasing, cracking, scratches, and areas of surface loss, particularly across the seating surfaces. These characteristics are clearly visible in the photographs and form part of the sofa’s current original vintage condition.
In contrast, the Brazilian rosewood structure remains very well preserved, with attractive grain and warm colour throughout. The combination of the aged black leather and exposed rosewood gives this example a particularly strong and authentic period character.
