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.
Jorge Jabour Mauad Pair of Lounge Chairs
Produced by Cantù Móveis in the 1960s, this pair of lounge chairs is defined by a solid jacaranda frame with softly rounded profiles. The generous cushions create a relaxed seating posture anchored by a grounded architectural base.
Recently refinished and reupholstered in a luxurious mohair fabric, the chairs preserve their original character while presenting renewed material clarity. An important example of mid-century Brazilian interior design.
