Set of Six Tulu Chairs by Kazuhide Takahama for Simon Gavina
About the Item
The Tulu chair was designed by the Japanese designer Kazuhide Takahama for Simon International in 1966.
The Tulu is one of the very first models that paved the way for the use of chrome-plated steel rod. The steel rod makes it possible to produce softly curved, extremely rounded structures. The back and seat upholstery is attached with zippers and completely removable.
The dark blue Alcantara fabric is great, it is the Italian version of Ultrasuede. It feels like natural suede, but it is resistant to stains and discoloration; it can be washed in a washing machine.
These elegant stackable chairs are in very good all original condition.
They are an early production of Simon International and marked with a silver foil label inside the seat.
This set was bought by the original owners in 1970 together with a Sarpi table designed by Carlo Scarpa for Simon Gavina. The table is not included and will be offered separately.

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, he 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.
