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 Zalszupin ‘Diplomata’ Desk
Produced by L’Atelier in the 1960s, the ‘Diplomata’ desk is clad in rosewood marquetry arranged in a mosaic of contrasting veneers.
Leather drawer pulls and ample storage reinforce its architectural logic. A disciplined and materially rich workspace from Zalszupin’s mature period.
