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 Sideboard
Executed in richly figured caviuna wood, this sideboard (which could also function as a desk) demonstrates Scapinelli’s characteristic attention to proportion and surface composition. The geometric arrangement of veneered panels and slender brass feet give the design both visual rhythm and lightness. The item maintains its original manufacturer’s labels.
