About the Item

Two-seater “Simone” sofa, designed and manufactured by Studio Simon in 1975. The structure is made of black lacquered wood. An azure velvet big seat completes the sofa. The minimal lines recall Kazuhide Takahama's Japanese style. Good vintage condition. Kazuhide Takahama (1930-2010) was a Japanese designer born in Mijasaki, Japan. After graduating from the Tokyo Institute of Technology in 1953, Kazuhide Takahama designed the Japanese Pavilion for the Milan Triennale. Here he met Dino Gavina, and over the next decade, Takahama created several pieces for Gavina. Later, he also collaborated with B&B Italia, Simon, and Knoll, just to name a few. Takahama’s designs are clearly 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. Excellent vintage condition.
