Sirio metal sconce, applique by Kazuhide Takahama for Sirrah 70s
About the Item
Sirio halogen sconce lamp designed by Kazuhide Takahama and produced by Sirrah in 1977.
The lamp has a matt black lacquered structure, an adjustable reflector and a striking On/Off switch, which doubles as a dimmer.
This lamp is described in Giuliana Gramigna's Repertorio del Design Italiano 1950-2000 on page 251 (1977).
The lamp is in good vintage condition.
Kazuhide Takahama (Nobeoka, 1930 - Bologna, February 10, 2010 [1]) was a Japanese architect and designer.
Born in 1930, he studied architecture in Tokyo and after graduation joined the studio of Kazuo Fujioka.
In 1957 he came to Italy to supervise the architectural layout of the pavilion with which Japan participated for the first time in 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 furniture and lamp designer in the San Lazzaro factory.
In 1968 Gavina sold his company Gavina SPA to Knoll International, with the related factory in Foligno designed by Achille Castiglioni, and together with Maria Simoncini (1927-2010) founded the Simon international manufacturer (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 which led to the creation of furniture and lamps of various types, which still constitute as many works of art, characterized always with great simplicity and formal cleanliness and very often rigorous like Zen compositions.
His colleagues said that he was so silent as to be called "the man of stone" but his presence was clearly perceptible.
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 Guzzini 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.
