About the Item
This sofa by Kazuhide Takahama is the perfect fusion of typical Japanese minimalism and Italian luxury of that period.
Takahama’s design philosophy saw furniture as a sculptural ‘box’ capable of containing comfort. The alternation between the cold, perfect and reflective lacquer and the warm and welcoming softness of the padded cushions creates an aesthetic tension with great visual impact.

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.
