Designed by Percival Lafer in Brazil, the "MP-13" armchair is defined by its solid rosewood frame and upholstered seat. The model’s wide proportions and low profile emphasize comfort, while the exposed wood structure highlights the Rosewood that mid century Brazilian furniture is famous for. Produced during the mid-20th century, the "MP-13" is one of Lafer’s most known contributions to Brazilian modernism, combining straightforward construction with a focus on functionality. Today, the "MP-13" remains a recognized example of Brazilian modernist design and its synthesis of native materials with global design movements.
