Kazuhide Takahama Furniture

Japanese, 1930-2010

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.

Naeko Ceiling Lamp by Kazuhide Takahama Special Edition by Kiko Kostadinov
By Kiko Kostadinov, Paradisoterrestre, Kazuhide Takahama
Located in Ozzano Dell emilia, IT
Designed in 1984 - Paradisoterrestre Edition 2023 Materials: lacquered metal structure, metal clips with brass finishing, nacre buttons, satin curtains, 1 bulb E14 led A special edition by fashion designer Kiko Kostadinov of Naeko ceiling lamp. Designed by Kazuhide Takahama for the Bolognese entrepreneur Dino Gavina in 1984 and produced by Sirrah, the ceiling lamp takes its name from the architect’s wife, Naeko, like the sofa and armchair set. Working from Takahama’s original preparatory sketches, Kostadinov parses it through his distinct lens and reinterprets the possibilities the object allows. The classic shape of Naeko ceiling lamp is enriched by the geometrical patterns designed by Kiko Kostadinov for this special edition inspired, continuing Takahama’s tradition, by his future wife Deanna Fanning’s graduate collection. Naeko ceiling lamp can be customized combining white and geometrically pattern curtains.
