Paradiso Terrestre Mantilla sofa 225 in blue velvet by Kazuhide Takahama for Simon, Italy, the 1970s. 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. Here 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 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.
