RAFA specializes in Brazilian modernist design from the 1950s and 1960s
Pieces are sourced in Brazil and restored by skilled specialists. Restoration follows a conservation-led approach: original finishes are preserved wherever possible, and any interventions are carefully documented to ensure the integrity and longevity of each work.
Our permanent venue is taking shape just outside Amsterdam, in an early-20th-century heritage stable complex that once formed part of Haarlem’s historic racecourse. Under careful restoration, it will soon offer a tactile, personal environment for the collection.
Founded by Thomas Martojo, RAFA works with collectors, architects and private clients worldwide. For inquiries, collaborations or viewings, we welcome you to get in touch.
Giuseppe Scapinelli Monumental Dining Table
Executed in jacaranda with chromed metal detailing, this monumental dining table reflects Scapinelli’s command of proportion and finish. The elongated top and tapered legs establish a disciplined rhythm, softened by the expressive grain of the veneer.
Retaining its original Fábrica de Móveis Giesse label, the piece confirms authorship and period production. Subtle metal sabots introduce a deliberate contrast to the warmth of the wood, reinforcing both stability and refinement.
