About the Item
Meet your new favorite chairs ~ the Suzanne lounge chairs, designed by Kazuhide Takahama in 1965 for Gavina SpA Milan. Unlike their later Knoll-produced counterparts, these two are OG 1960s legends—the kind of pieces that have seen things, lived through the best parties, and still look effortlessly fabulous.
Dressed to impress in new luxurious cotton green velvet, these chairs add the perfect dose of color without screaming for attention. Their sleek chromed iron sleigh legs give them a cool, modern edge, while the visible gap between the seat and seatback adds a sense of lightness to their otherwise chunky, playful silhouette. They’re sculptural, sophisticated, and—shockingly—actually comfortable. Yes, these are Netflix-worthy lounge chairs that don’t just sit there looking pretty; they’re ready for hours of binging, scrolling, or reading a good book.
Want to style them? These beauties play well with others. Think Pierre Paulin, Verner Panton, or even a Vladimir Kagan cloud sofa. They bring that perfect mix of mid-century modern meets ‘70s space-age cool.
Kazuhide Takahama (1930–2010) was a Japanese-born, Italian-adopted design genius. He started his career in Japan, but after meeting the legendary Dino Gavina in 1957, he was lured to Italy—the land of pasta, impeccable craftsmanship, and avant-garde design. Takahama was all about clean lines, precise geometry, and a certain quiet elegance that set his work apart. He collaborated with the likes of Gavina, Cassina, and Knoll, creating pieces that were minimalist yet undeniably bold. His furniture designs always carried a sense of serenity, blending Japanese restraint with Italian flair. And as you can see, the Suzanne chair is no exception.
If you’re looking to add a little 1960s Italian glam (with a dash of Japanese precision) to your space, these are the chairs. Don’t sleep on them—because someone else will, and they’ll do it in ridiculous style.

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.
