Lafer’s work is celebrated for its relaxed architectural forms, innovative construction, and unmistakable Brazilian modernist character — and the MP-41 is one of his most recognizable sofa designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe sofa features Lafer’s signature suspended cushion construction, with deep tufted leather cushions supported by a strong exposed wood frame and leather strapping. The design has a wonderful sense of tension and ease: structured, graphic, and architectural from the back, yet soft, low, and inviting from the front. The pillow-like arms and generously cushioned seat create a casual lounge quality while the frame gives the piece its sculptural presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis sofa is currently \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ein process\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e and is in the process of being restored by Hobbs Modern. It will be finished in a plush black leather, giving the piece a dramatic, refined look while honoring the relaxed sophistication of the original design.
