Combining a sculptural solid Jatoba wood frame with luxurious cognac leather, this highly sought-after design exemplifies the innovative craftsmanship and distinctive character that have made Lafer's furniture so desirable.

The sofa's striking silhouette is defined by its generously cushioned, distinctive design, featuring beautifully tufted upholstery, meticulous stitching, and softly rounded contours that invite you to sink into its comfort. Newly reupholstered in rich cognac leather, the sofa beautifully contrasts with the dark tones of its solid Jatoba wood frame. Particularly fascinating is its construction, with original leather support straps suspending the cushions within the exposed wooden structure. This ingenious combination of materials creates the floating appearance that makes the MP-97 so recognizable, while showcasing Lafer's remarkable ability to unite comfort with innovative design.
