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.
Sergio Rodrigues ‘Burton’ Dining Table
Named after Sergio Rodrigues’s longtime friend Michel Burton, the ‘Burton’ dining table reveals the designer’s early mastery of form and his inventive use of materials. One can imagine Rodrigues deconstructing a model sailboat to recompose its parts into this sculptural table of rosewood and chromed brass rods.
The piece retains its original manufacturer’s label.
