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 Console Table
A rare console table in jacaranda by Joaquim Tenreiro, uniting precise craftsmanship with vernacular tradition. The solid rosewood frame supports a veneered top and hand-carved ‘bico de jaca’ drawers, a poetic modern reinterpretation of 19th-century farmhouse furniture.
With provenance to architect David Libeskind’s São Paulo residence, the piece retains its original labels and has been fully restored.
