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.
Móveis Cimo Pair of Armchairs
This pair of armchairs by Móveis Cimo combines a solid imbuia frame with new upholstery in Dedar Milano fabric. The structure is grounded and well-proportioned, with clearly defined transitions between frame and cushioning.
Cimo’s production in the 1960s balanced durability with modern clarity. Here, the generous seat volumes soften the disciplined wooden base, creating seating that feels both structured and inviting. A matching sofa from the same series is available.
