Naeko Armchair by Kazuhide Takahama produced by Gavina Spa in 1958
About the Item
Naeko armchair designed by Japanese architect Kazuhide Takahama dating back to Gavina’s first production. Cherry-wood structure, recently upholstered in linen velvet.
This is the wooden version of a project developed when Kazuhide Takahama was in Italy to set up the Japanese pavilion at XI Triennale in Milan, 1956/57. On that occasion he met Dino Gavina, with whom he began a life long collaboration and friendship.
A wonderful project that architect Takahama dedicated to his “Naeko”, who later became his wife.

Kazuhide Takahama
Kazuhide Takahama was a Japanese designer born in Miyazaki, Japan. After graduating from the Tokyo Institute of Technology in 1953, Takahama designed the Japanese Pavilion for the Milan Triennale. There he met Dino Gavina, and over the next decade, Takahama designed several pieces for Gavina. Later, he also collaborated with B&B Italia, Simon and Knoll, just to name a few. His designs are clear in line and shape and have a high-quality design. With the functionalist approach to modernism, he designed with a Japanese sense of material and aesthetics conveniently combined with Western elements.
