Pair Kazuhide Takahama Kazuki Chairs for Simon Gavina International, Italy 1969
About the Item
Set of four or six available.
Kazuhide Takahama was born in Japan in 1930 and after completing his studies in Architecture in Tokyo he started working in Kazuo Fuioka’s studio. In 1957, he went to Italy to visit the Triennale in Milan where he met Dino Gavina. He developed his own well-defined style in a climate of profuse cultural exchanges. The furniture and lighting he designed often features clean lines and formal restraint.
When designing the ’Kazuki’ chair Takahama was influenced by the Japanese tradition of lacquerware. The lacquer finish creates a striking finish. Manufactured by Simon Gavina International, they were one of the first manufacturers to use the gloss lacquer technique within the modern industrial process.

- Set of Six Tulu Chairs by Kazuhide Takahama for Simon GavinaBy Kazuhide Takahama, Studio SimonLocated in Dronten, NLThe Tulu chair was designed by the Japanese designer Kazuhide Takahama for Simon International in 1966. The Tulu is one of the very first models that paved the way for the use of chrome-plated steel rod. The steel rod makes it possible to produce softly curved, extremely rounded structures. The back and seat upholstery is attached with zippers and completely removable. The dark blue Alcantara fabric is great, it is the Italian version of Ultrasuede. It feels like natural suede, but it is resistant to stains and discoloration; it can be washed in a washing machine. These elegant stackable chairs are in very good all original condition. They are an early production of Simon International and marked with a silver foil label inside the seat. This set was bought by the original owners in 1970 together with a Sarpi table...Category
