From the very beginning, he felt that every design should be innovative and original, and therefore patented, reflecting state-of-the-art technology. The company name was changed to Lafer MP, the initials MP meaning moveis patenteados, which is Portuguese for patented furniture.
Lafer was one of the pioneers of the Brazilian Modernist movement. He was in the forefront of ready-to-assemble furniture made of solid hardwoods with leather upholstery.
Because of his dedication to the creation of new products, he has done very little architectural work, but he has designed a few houses for personal friends.
Interestingly, he found time in the early 1970s to design the MP Lafer automobile, a two-seater sports car which was manufactured in Brazil until 1990. In its sixteen years of production, 4300 were manufactured, and approximately 1000 were exported to Europe and the United States.

I love the yellow armchairs. I'll take the car too.
ReplyDeleteI think those yellow armchairs are my favorites too. And we could look pretty spiffy driving around in that car, huh?
