Halogen floor lamp designed by Kazuhide Takahama and produced by Sirrah around 1977. Faithful exponent of the formal equlibrium and simplicity of the works of the Japanese designer. The lamp is equipped with a dimmer switch. Settled in Italy since the late 1950s, Takahama collaborated closely with leading firms, becoming one of the main promoters of Italian design. Kazuhide Takahama Japanese architect and designer. Born in 1930, he studied architecture in Tokyo and after graduating he joined Kazuo Fujioka's studio. In 1957 he went to Italy to supervise the architectural layout of the pavilion with which Japan participated for the first time in the XI Triennale di Milano, where he met the designer and businessman Dino Gavina (1922-2007) with whom he began a professional collaboration that would last a lifetime. Consequently, in 1964 he moved to Bologna and went to work as a designer of furniture and lamps in the factory of San Lazzaro.in 1968 Gavina sold his company Gavina SPA to Knoll International, with its Foligno plant designed by Achille Castiglioni , and founded together with Maria Simoncini (1927-2010) the manufacturer Simon International (later acquired by Cassina ) and a year later the exhibition and commercial center bearing the name of Marcel Duchamp was inaugurated in Bologna with the participation of the famous Dadaist painter and photographer Man Ray .In these new offices, Takahama was able to collaborate with the famous architect and designer Carlo Scarpa and in the following years he developed an intense professional activity that led him to the creation of various types of furniture and lamps, which still constitute so many works of art, always characterized by a great simplicity and formal cleanliness and very often rigorous as Zen compositions.His colleagues said he was so quiet that they called him "the man of stone", but his presence was clearly perceptible.Takahama continued to develop his activity as a designer until his death in 2010.

LE CORBUSIER (Switzerland, 1887 - France, 1965) for CASSINA. LC4 chaiselong, black lacquered frame, black leather upholstery. Designed in 1928. Produced by Cassina. With stamps and identification number. With marks of use. Measurements: 65 x 160 x 58 cm. The LC 4 chaise longue, presented at the 1929 Salon d'Automne du Design, is the best known of Le Corbusier's furniture. It is a purist, radical design that won critical acclaim in its time and is today a classic of 20th century design. This modern edition seeks greater comfort by presenting the upholstery with more padding than the original design. Swiss architectural theorist, architect, designer and painter, naturalised French citizen, Le Corbusier is considered one of the clearest exponents of the Modern Movement in architecture, and one of the most influential architects of the 20th century. He developed a new architecture based on five points that would be key to the development of this discipline from then on: the free plan, the terrace-garden, the "pilotis", the longitudinal window and the free façade. Among his most outstanding architectural projects were the Swiss Pavilion in the Cité Universitaire in Paris, the Unité d'Habitation in Marseilles and the chapel of Notre Dame du Aut. in Ronchamp. As a furniture designer, Le Corbusier produced his first creations together with Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand, and received his definitive impetus at the Paris Decorative Arts Exhibition of 1925. His first chairs and armchairs were already conceived in terms of comfort, based on anthropometric studies that guaranteed total adaptability to the body. The first design that Le Corbusier created, together with Jeanneret and Perriand, was the LC1 chair, presented in 1928 and characterised by a height-adjustable backrest that allowed the user to choose the most comfortable posture. He continued to work along these lines, and at the 1929 Salon d'Automne du Design he presented his LC4 chaise longue, a purist and radical design that has become a classic today. Equally well known are his LC2, LC3 and LC5 designs, one-, two- and three-seater sofas designed to revolutionise the mass production of modern furniture. We should also mention the design of stools and dining chairs, such as the LC7, presented at the 1929 Salon d'Automne or the LC8. Le Corbusier, Jeanneret and Perriand sought to design furniture for all the rooms in the house, and so they created pieces such as LC9, a very simple stool for the bathroom with a fabric seat. Le Corbusier also created other types of furniture, such as tables and shelves. His designs are currently published by the Italian company Cassina, and are present in important collections such as that of the MoMA in New York and the Victoria & Albert in London.

LE CORBUSIER (Switzerland, 1887 - France, 1965); PIERRE JEANNERET (Genoa, 1896-1967); CHARLOTTE PERRIAND (France, 1903-1999) for CASSINA. A pair of LC2 armchairs. Designed in 1928. Chrome-plated tubular steel frame, loose cushions upholstered in black leather. Stamped Cassina. With certificates. With signs of wear due to age and use. Measurements: 65 x 75 x 70 cm. 47 cm. (seatheight). The LC2 armchair was designed by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand in 1928 and like the contemporary LC3 series, was defined by its creators as a "basket of cushions", and conceived as a response to the traditional armchair, which inverts the dialogue between structure and cushions, leaving the former visible. Architectural theorist, architect, designer and painter, Le Corbusier is considered one of the clearest exponents of the Modern Movement in architecture, and one of the most influential architects of the 20th century. He developed a new architecture based on five points that would be key to the development of this discipline from then on: the free plan, the terrace-garden, the "pilotis", the longitudinal window and the free façade.
