Additional Information: Kazuhide Takahama was a Japanese-born designer renowned for his minimalist aesthetic that seamlessly blended Japanese sensibilities with Italian modernism. After graduating from the Tokyo Institute of Technology in 1953, he designed the Japanese Pavilion for the Milan Triennale, where he met Italian entrepreneur Dino Gavina — a pivotal connection that led to decades of collaboration.
Introduced in 1965, the Marcel seating collection was conceived as a tribute to Marcel Duchamp and features modular pieces defined by clean lines, geometric forms, and a timeless, functional elegance. These ottomans or stools exemplify Takahama’s synthesis of Eastern and Western design principles. Understated yet sculptural, they function beautifully as footrests, additional seating, or even low tables — ideal for minimalist, Japandi, or contemporary interiors.

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.
