Kazuhide Takahama (1930-2010)
Born in Miyazaki, Japan, in 1930, Kazuhide Takahama studied architecture before joining Kazuo Fujioka’s studio.
In 1957, on the occasion of a visit to Italy, he met with Dino Gavina, the famous design entrepreneur, with whom he collaborated for many years perfecting a minimalist approach of design furniture.
Takahama was deeply influenced by modern art. The « Marcel » seating collection for Simon International was inspired by Marcel Duchamp, the « Saori » lighting series for Sirrah was a tribute to Lucio Fontana’s works.
In 1963, Takahama settled permanently in Italy and continued collaborations with major companies such as Cassina for which he created the « Antella » console or the « Mantilla » sofa for Paradisoterrestre.
Takahama also designed the façade of the Guglielmo Marconi Airport in Bologna, leaving a lasting legacy in his country of adoption.

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.
