Kazuhide Takahama 'Saori' floor lamp for Gavina - Italy 1973
About the Item
Kazuhide Takahama spent much of his career designing for notable European furniture manufacturers such as B&B Italia and Gavina, but several of his pieces reflect the refined simplicity associated with his home country of Japan. Such examples include Takahama’s Saori floor lamp, which is named after one of his children.
Created in 1973, the lamp comprises a domed metal frame with white synthetic fabric stretched over it. The piece has recently been rewired and PAT tested to UK standards.

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.

20th Century Kazuhide Takahama for Gavina floor lamp mod. Totem
By Kazuhide Takahama, Gavina
Located in Turin, Turin
Kazuhide Takahama studied architecture at university in Tokyo from 1949, taking his degree in 1953. He's, however, primarily known as a furniture and lighting designer. Kazuhide Takahama met furniture-maker Dino Gavina in Milan in 1957 and remained in Italy to design for Gavina's firm. Kazuhide Takahama's designs are distinguished by clarity of line and form, qualities that reveal his Japanese origins. He often combines traditional forms and techniques with Western elements in his designs. Other collaborations worthy of mention are the one with the furniture giant B&B Italia or with lighting brands such as Sirrah and Nemo. He too worked a lot as an architect, especially in Bologna, where he created the facade of the city airport and all the bus shelters...
