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 ‘MP-19’ Sofa
The ‘MP-19’ sofa, designed by Percival Lafer in 1967, rests on a rosewood frame that gives the seat a floating appearance. Reupholstered in white fabric, the piece highlights its sculptural construction and precise joinery, with cushions that combine comfort and visual balance. The clean lines and open structure reflect Lafer’s focus on proportion and technical clarity.
