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.
Percival Lafer Pair of ‘MP-01’ Armchairs
The MP-01 marked the beginning of the Lafer brand. Its steel structure clad in hardwood established the foundation for the company’s later production.
Reupholstered in sand-coloured velvet, the chairs maintain the clarity of the original frame while emphasizing comfort. An early and formative model in Brazilian industrial furniture.
