About the Item
Kazuhide Takahama Tulu Chair For Cassina
Symbol of cutting-edge construction and avant-garde experimentation, Tulu is a stackable design chair designed in 1968 by Japanese architect Kazuhide Takahama. Along with the Jano, LJin and Gaja chairs, it is the forerunner of the exploratory pathway undertaken by the Japanese architect in the 1960s.
After becoming part of the Cassina Collection, the Tulu design chair was re-engineered with removable upholstery in fabric, leather or cowhide.
STRUCTURE
Frame in bent tubular metal with chrome or painted finish.
SEAT AND BACKREST
With elastic webbing.
DETAIL
Cover in batting and zipper to remove the upholstery.
A symbol of avant-garde construction ideas and experimentation, Tulu is a stackable sled-base chair designed in 1968 by Kazuhide Takahama on commission from Dino Gavina’s Simon company, which was acquired by Cassina in 2013, and is now known as Simon International. The Tulu chair offers an early example where, rather than bending a metal tube to make the frame, a thin rod was electric induction-welded before being given a chrome finish. This innovation made tighter curves possible, while leading to the use of multiple welding heads, enabling a piece to be made in one single process. When Simon International became part of the Cassina universe, the Tulu’s manufacturing process was revisited, and streamlined further. The seat and back have now been reinforced by the addition of elastic straps, while the padded cover was given a zip fastening, so it can be removed for cleaning. This chair has now been completely redeveloped and further improved by reinforcing the seat with a thermoformed seat and backrest with elastic straps, as well as inserting a wadding cover and zip that allows the upholstery to be removed.

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.
