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 ‘Franco’ Sofa
Designed in 1962, the ‘Franco’ sofa reflects Sergio Rodrigues’s characteristic approach to construction and comfort. The rosewood frame is composed of clear horizontal and vertical members, with exposed joinery emphasizing the structural logic of the piece. Generous cushions in suede leather soften the strict geometry and create a relaxed seating experience.
Matching armchair available.
