Its smooth, sculptural surface creates a striking contrast with the warm brown leather upholstery and dark wood base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside the shell, deeply cushioned brown leather forms the seat, backrest, and arms as a continuous, enveloping composition. The generous upholstery folds naturally around the perimeter of the shell, softening its geometric profile and giving the chair the relaxed character associated with Lafer’s work of the 1970s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fiberglass body rests on a low architectural wood base, emphasizing the chair’s horizontal proportions and creating a subtle floating effect. The combination of molded fiberglass, leather, and wood reflects Lafer’s interest in bringing industrial production methods together with the warmth and material richness associated with Brazilian Modern design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MP-61 belongs to an especially experimental chapter of Lafer’s career, when molded materials and increasingly sculptural forms expanded the vocabulary of his earlier wood-framed furniture. Its enveloping profile and unusual exposed shell make it a particularly recognizable example of Brazilian design from the 1970s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example retains brown leather upholstery and presents beautifully as a substantial, low-profile lounge chair with a strong sculptural presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWidth: 34.6” (88 cm)\u003cbr\u003eDepth: 33.9” (86 cm)\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 26.8” (68 cm)\u003cbr\u003eSeat Height: 15” (38 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorldwide shipping available.
