Percival Lafer MP-116 Modular Lounge Chair Unit Set, Dark Leather, Brazil, 1973
Percival Lafer MP-116 Modular Lounge Chair Unit Set, Dark Leather, Brazil, 1973

Percival Lafer MP-116 Modular Lounge Chair Unit Set, Dark Leather, Brazil, 1973

By Sergio Rodrigues, De Sede, Percival Lafer

Located in Chattanooga, TN

A rare and beautifully preserved pair of Percival Lafer MP-116 modular lounge units, produced in Brazil in the 1970s. The MP-116 is one of Lafer’s most sculptural and technically sophisticated seating designs, celebrated for its distinctive pillow-block construction, deep gathered leather, and the refined engineering that defines his most collectible work. Pairs of MP-116 modules in matching condition are increasingly difficult to source, making this offering especially desirable for collectors and designers seeking original Lafer pieces. Each module is formed from four generously padded leather cushions that create the soft, architectural geometry characteristic of the MP-116 series. Upholstered in rich dark-chocolate leather, the cushions maintain their fullness and supple texture, presenting in very good original condition with the surface character and patina that only decades of careful stewardship can produce. The frames are crafted from solid Brazilian Jatobá hardwood, a dense and highly valued tropical species chosen by Lafer for its structural strength and warm, glowing tonality. The timber shows exceptional grain clarity and remains in outstanding condition. The MP-116 was conceived as a forward-thinking modular system, far more sophisticated than most mid-century modular seating. Each unit functions beautifully as an individual lounge chair, yet two modules together can create a sculptural loveseat, a low chaise-like configuration, or a striking asymmetrical arrangement suited to contemporary interiors. This pair offers the rare opportunity to acquire two perfectly matching modules from the same original owner, preserving the visual continuity and design intent of Lafer’s modular philosophy. The pair is accompanied by photocopies of the original 1973 Brazil Contempo...

Nine Seating Elements, Otto Zapf, 1967, Germany, Super Rare Original Leather

By Otto Zapf

Located in bergen op zoom, NL

Here we have a very rare opportunity, a large set of nine Otto Zapf 1967 'sofalette' modular seating elements in matching original leather complete with the original and usually missing loose cushions. The high quality thick fibreglass bases, all in good condition ,even bear the original workshop's production marks confirming this set was produced by the Zapf workshop in 1973. The 'sofalette' system is completely modular in that you can rearrange the nine seating elements into any possible configuration and combination from a 9 seat sofa to three three seater sofas, to a pair of lounge chairs and a 4 and 3 seat sofa to nine lounge chairs and any configuration in between. This rare matching set really is in excellent vintage condition benefitting from the fact that this set has only had one owner from new. The leather has no holes or tears and its only flaw is some slight UV yellowing in a few areas which add to the lovely vintage patina. 99% of the 'sofalette' series were produced in patterned fabrics ,de rigueur, in the late 1960s and early 1970s, a very small proportion were ordered in the expensive and for those times subdued and elegant optional leather. To find one element in original leather is difficult but to find a complete original set of nine matching leather elements in excellent condition is like finding the proverbial hen's teeth. The super elegant and minimal sculptural form is fully complemented by the pale cream leather, a sculptural form which is usually lost in the "noise" of a mass of patterned fabric, in leather as seen here the design really sings out. Otto Zapf began his design career by joining the iconic Braun company in 1955 where he met colleague Dieter Rams, in 1957 they formed their own design firm, 'RZ-furniture Vertriebs GmbH', where they developed the concept to design modular furniture that could be expanded as desired and that you could install yourself and that would be easy to transport, a concept you can see take form with the sofalette series and Ram's later iconic Vitsoe 606 shelving system...
