About the Item
Set of 4 Tulu chairs designed by Kazuhide Takahama with original upholstery in velvet.
Structure in chrome-plated steel rod, rubber and synthetic wool padding.
One of the very first models that paved the way for the use of the rod, an evolution compared to the bending of the tube as it allows a very tight curve.
“Among the industrially manufactured chairs designed after the war, Tulu is the most beautiful one.” – Dino Gavina

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.
