Floor lamp Kazuki by Kazuhide Takahama for Sirrah , 1980s
About the Item
Metal structure, white fabric diffuser, ground support in chromed steel rod.
Ethereal presence fully representing Takahama's lightness design.
Takahama, born in 1930, he studied architecture in Tokyo and after graduating he joined the studio of Kazuo Fujioka.
In 1957 he came to Italy to oversee the architectural layout of the pavilion with which Japan participated for the first time at the XI Triennale di Milano, where he met the designer and entrepreneur Dino Gavina (1922-2007) with whom he undertook a professional collaboration that it would last a lifetime. Consequently in 1964 he moved to Bologna and went to work as a designer of furniture and lamps in the San Lazzaro factory.
In 1968 Gavina sold his company Gavina SPA to Knoll International, with the related plant in Foligno designed by Achille Castiglioni, and founded together with Maria Simoncini (1927-2010) the manufacturer Simon international (later acquired by Cassina) and the year later the exhibition and commercial center named after Marcel Duchamp opened in Bologna with the participation of the famous Dadaist painter and photographer Man Ray.
In these new locations, Takahama was able to collaborate with the famous architect and designer Carlo Scarpa and in the following years he carried out an intense professional activity that led to the creation of various types of furniture and lamps, which still constitute as many works of art, characterized always from a great simplicity and formal cleanliness and very often rigorous like the Zen compositions.
Takahama continued to carry out his activity as a designer until his death in 2010.
Sirrah was born in Imola in 1968 taking its name from a star in the constellation Andromeda.
He made his debut in 1968 at the Triennale presenting a series of lamps designed by the Albini-Helg-Piva studio.
From this date, industrial production began while maintaining the artisan characteristics of the products unchanged: refinement, extreme attention to detail.
In 1973 the collaboration with Takahama introduces the use of new materials: the Japanese designer begins to use a heat-resistant, elastic and washable fabric with which he creates various lamps.
In the 1990s, after the acquisition of Sirrah by iGuzzini Illuminazione (1994), attention shifted decisively towards the production of lighting fixtures for specific market sectors.
Since June 2004 Sirrah has been incorporated, through a merger, into iGuzzini Illuminazione.

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, Takahama 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.
