Placed side by side, Kazuhide Takahama's two Saghi armchairs form a low, continuous bench. It is the same pair, shown here in another configuration, to picture a sofa in a living room, a lounge or a pop-up.
Kazuhide Takahama (1930-2010), a Japanese architect trained in Tokyo, met Dino Gavina in 1957 at the Milan Triennale, then settled in Bologna in 1963. He became one of the designers most present at Simon, Gavina's house. According to dealers, the Saghi dates from around 1972.
Each seat dips gently towards a curved back: two sails of velvet stretched over a chromed steel rod set on a sled base. Brought together, the two sleds draw a single horizontal line, light, that seems to float above the floor. The brown velvet, newly reupholstered, brings out the shine of the chrome.
Very good condition. First-hand pieces, from the collection of a Milanese enthusiast.
Side by side, the set measures about 124 cm wide, 74 cm deep and 67 cm high.
The pair also lends itself to rental for a pop-up, a boutique or a showroom: a designer sofa that separates into two armchairs to suit the space.
