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-81’ Sofa
The ‘MP-81’ sofa, designed by Percival Lafer in the early 1970s, can be adjusted to create two configurations, with or without the headrest.
Retaining its original black leather upholstery, the piece balances industrial materials with a generous, comfortable seating experience. The structure is concise and purposeful, with a form that highlights the clarity of its engineering.
