About the Item
Set of twelve Tulu stackable chairs with frame in bent steel rod, seat and back in leather, designed by Takahama Kazuhide in 1968 and produced by Simon Gavina in the 1970s.
The Tulu chair emerged as a hallmark of innovative construction and experimentation, it is a stackable chair created in 1968 by Kazuhide Takahama for Dino Gavina’s Simon company.
The Tulu chair exemplifies an early departure from conventional methods; instead of just bending a metal tube to form the chair frame, the slim rod was electric induction-welded and then chrome-plated.
This advancement allowed for tighter curves and the use of multiple welding heads, facilitating the creation of the chair in a single step.
The seat and back are strengthened with elastic straps, and the padded cover features a zip closure, making it easy to remove for cleaning.

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.

By Luigi Caccia Dominioni, Azucena
Located in Cascina, Pisa
Set of six Catilina chairs with frame in painted steel, seat top in multi-layered wood, and upholstery-shaped polyurethane cushions covered with red fabric. This iconic seat was designed by Luigi Caccia Dominioni, and produced by Azucena since 1958.
Luigi Caccia Dominioni firstly presents this seat at the XI Triennale in Milan in 1957 and from this moment Catilina became one of Luigi Caccia Dominioni’s classics.
Caccia Dominioni created a new chair and also defined how to sit in it. Catilina is not designed for relaxation and letting go but for thoughtfulness and elegance. You could almost be transported back to ancient Rome ensconced in the seat of the Roman senator, Lucio Sergio Catilina, after whom the chair is named. In turn, the chair harks back to medieval thrones...
