Kazuhide Takahama attr. Olinto table

Japanese designer Kazuhide Takahama (1930–2010) started working in Kazuo Fuioka’s studio soon after completing his architecture studies in Tokyo. In 1957 he oversaw the design of Japan’s first pavilion at the Milan Triennale, where he had a fateful meeting with Dino Gavina. He developed a distinctive style, characterised by clean lines and formal restraint, in a climate of profuse cultural exchanges. 

The Japanese tradition of lacquerware informed Takahama’s design for the Olinto table, which recalls a pair of butterfly wings in the layered structure of its legs. Six Kazuki chairs in a similar design language are also available.

In good vintage condition, with some very light scratches to the surface.
