Italian Faux Suede Armchair Attributed to Percival Lafer, 1960s - 2 Available

$5,400.00

A 1960s Italian armchair attributed to Percival Lafer, defined by its architectural wooden frame and softly contoured cushions in a warm tobacco faux suede. Broad, winged side panels curve gently around the back, while the seat and headrest cushions are supported by leather-wrapped tabs and brass hardware—a nod to Lafer’s mastery of exposed, functional detailing.

The solid wood frame reveals thoughtful craftsmanship throughout, from the carved armrests with recessed trays to the side cutouts and wide lower stretchers. Generous cushions settle into the structure, giving the chair an inviting, low-slung profile.

Sold and priced individually.
