Description
Designed in 1976 by Percival Lafer for Lafer MP, this rare set of two “S-1” armchairs reflects a pivotal moment in Brazilian design, where comfort-driven innovation met refined modernist structure. The model is distinguished by its low, architectural profile and generously proportioned molded foam sling seats, conceived to provide ergonomic support without sacrificing visual clarity.
Each chair is anchored by a beautifully refinished jatobá hardwood frame, whose deep tone and dense grain lend both structural strength and sculptural presence. The exposed joinery and rectilinear geometry introduce a subtle Scandinavian sensibility, balanced by the relaxed posture and tactile softness of the upholstery. Retaining their original fabric, the seats present in very good condition, preserving the integrity and authenticity of the design.
Highly versatile, the S-1 armchairs function equally well as a paired lounge arrangement or as sculptural accents within a larger interior. They stand as a confident expression of Percival Lafer’s commitment to modern comfort, industrial precision, and enduring material quality within the canon of Brazilian modern furniture.
