About the Item
Lacquered wood structure and petrol blue velvet covering.
Very good condition, with small and inevitable signs of age and use on the lacquered parts.
Kazuhide Takahama - Nobeoka 1930 - Bologna 2010 - was a Japanese architect and designer.
Takahama, born in 1930, he studied architecture in Tokyo and after graduating he joined the studio of Kazuo Fujioka.
In 1957 he came to Italy to oversee the architectural layout of the pavilion with which Japan participated for the first time at 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 designer of furniture and lamps in the San Lazzaro factory. 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.
Takahama continued to carry out his activity as a designer until his death in 2010.
SIMON was born in 1968 from the meeting of Dino Gavina and Maria Simoncini with some of the major representatives of architecture and modern art. All the cultural experiences and productive testimonies that have given life to a cult collection for design lovers converge in this entrepreneurial adventure. Today these furnishing objects, synonyms of an industrial activity that has been capable of becoming a vehicle for cultural promotion, represent classics, because they are custodians of timeless values to inspire and draw on.

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.
