The strong horizontal proportions, open base, and visible framing elements create a composition that feels both architectural and relaxed. Lafer’s approach consistently emphasized comfort without sacrificing structural honesty, and the MP-13 remains one of his clearest expressions of that philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example has been professionally reupholstered in green leather, introducing a rich tonal contrast against the warmth and depth of the Brazilian rosewood. The deep seating position and relaxed back angle create an exceptionally comfortable lounge experience, while the integrated wooden upholstery buttons remain a defining visual and structural detail of the design. These exposed fastening elements reflect Lafer’s characteristic tendency to incorporate construction directly into the visual identity of the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sofa remains in excellent restored condition. The Brazilian rosewood frame is solid and well preserved, with clean joinery and strong grain definition throughout. The leather upholstery is newly completed, with soft texture, even tone, and careful tailoring across all seating surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA refined example of Brazilian modernism, where comfort, engineering, and material expression are resolved through clarity of structure and proportion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWidth: 86.25” (219 cm)\u003cbr\u003eDepth: 32” (81 cm)\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 27.25” (69 cm)\u003cbr\u003eSeat Height: 15.5” (39 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorldwide shipping available.
