Set 8 Stackable Chairs in Chromed & Ecru Bouclé By K. Takahama for Simon Gavina
About the Item
I am offering for sale a set consisting of 8 "TULU" chairs, designed in the late 60s by the Japanese designer Kazhide Takahama for the historic company Simon Gavina.
The "TULU" chair is one of the first chairs to begin using steel bars.
This is a revolutionary step up from bent metal tubes of the cantilever chairs designed at the beginning of the 20th century by Mart Stam, Marcel Breuer or Mies van der Rohe.
The use of steel bars made it possible to tighten the curves and could also be welded in more than one place so that the frames could be made in one single sitting allowing a more real, fast and precise industrial production.
The Tulu model stands out for its rigor and the clean lines of it's form, as well as having it's own language of poetic essentiality in wich the sign of from the oriental Culture of Takahama original training blend with those of the western Culture in which he has since he became immersed.
The strong points of these chairs made in Italy in the 70s, in addition to the magnificent design, are that they are stackable and have removable covers.
The upholstery was recently replaced by us with an ecru colored bouclé.
The upholsterer replaced the padding while retaining the cardboard platform on which the brand label is attached.
The rope that makes the seat springy and resistant has been replaced with a new one a few mm larger in diameter to increase its resistance and comfort.
The steel bars structure is stable and solid but shows minimal signs of use and age with oxidation.
Reach out for any additional questions.

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.
