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 Set of Twelve ‘Bloch Editores’ Chairs
Designed in 1965 for the Bloch Editores headquarters in Rio de Janeiro, this rare set of twelve dining chairs demonstrates Rodrigues’s architectural approach to seating. Executed in rosewood with upholstered seats and backs, the unusually large set is a remarkable survival from an important corporate commission.
