Notes
Percival Lafer, a prominent Brazilian designer, created luxurious and functional pieces often blending wood and leather. This chair, often referred to as the ' Earth Scoop' exemplifies Lafer's signature style with its organic, enveloping form and robust wooden frame. The Jatoba is Brazilian Cherry, used in the vast majority of 1970s productions of the 'MP-91'.
