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.
Joaquim Tenreiro Wall Shelf
This wall shelf demonstrates Tenreiro’s emphasis on linear composition. The interplay between horizontal and vertical elements establishes a measured visual cadence.
Executed in jacaranda, the piece combines structural clarity with warmth of material. Its slender framework allows it to function both as storage and as a compositional element within an interior.
