Pair of Armchairs by Liceu de Artes e Ofícios
About the Item
A pair of beautiful solid wood armchairs designed and manufactured by Liceu de Artes e Oficios, São Paulo, 1960s.
The design is inspired on a chair design by Finn Juhl.
Solid wood structure with new upholstery in a light grey linen.
The high quality wood frame is in excellent condition, rare signs of age: A matt finish reveals the beautiful colour & grain of the wood throughout both chairs.
Beyond the elegant curved lines of the arms and legs, these Liceu armchairs are also very comfortable: the angle of the seat + position of the backrest + the comfortable armrests offer great seating experience.
Dimensions: D76 x W71 x H76 cm
Liceu De Artes & Oficios was established in 1873 in São Paulo by a group of coffee aristocrats with the intention of training skilled labor for future industrialisation of Brazil.
The educational institution developed over the years: the Liceu remained a leading institution for decades forming professionals in the creative Industries. It was a school, museum, workplace and crafts workshop in one, promoting Brazilian culture and design to the wide public.
The Liceu is a reference of quality design and rigorous production: many great pieces of furniture by Brazilian young designers were manufactured and sold by the Liceu de Artes e Oficios.

- Pair of MP-51 Armchairs by Percival Lafer, Brazilian Mid-CenturyBy Percival LaferLocated in Whitstable, GBA rare model of armchair by Percival Lafer, our stunning pair of MP-51 have their structure entirely made out of solid Jatobá wood - Brazilian cherry. The seat base has been redone with new natural leather straps. These straps are part of the overall aesthetics of the piece. The wood on both chairs has been sanded and matt varnished, revealing the beautiful colour and grain of Jatobá. The wood surfaces look stunning. The chairs have a new brown natural leather upholstery, done in Brazil. These MP51 are very comfortable, and ours are in excellent condition. We have two chairs available. A common trait amongst Lafer pieces is that they are very comfortable and also unique: they have a hard-achieved simplicity about them. Lafer studied architecture at São Paulo’s Universidade Mackenzie. After he graduated, his father passed away suddenly, leaving a furniture business that Lafer took over with his brothers. Lafer then made the jump from architecture to furniture design in 1961, putting a focus on thoughtfully designed pieces available at affordable prices. In the same year he introduced the amazing MP-1 chair, a plush piece of furniture made with iron and wood- and since then has had a prolific career. The silhouettes of his lounge chairs, armchairs and other seating were were a step away from the streamlined American and European mid-century modernism being designed at the time, taking on casual, puffed forms thanks to the use of polyurethane layers as padding. He combined such contemporary industrial materials with local natural ones, namely Brazilian hardwoods, which delighted customers around the world as Lafer became one of the country’s leading exporters of furniture. Lafer has continued to design furniture throughout his career, branching into sofas, tables and lighting. He was at the forefront of mechanical furniture movements, debuting the MP-7 sofa...Category
