Kazuhide Takahama

Japan 1930-2010 

Kazuhide Takahama was a Japanese architect and designer. He was born in Nobeoka, Japan, in 1930. He studied architecture in Tokyo and after graduating, he joined the studio of Kazuo Fujioka.

Takahama moved to Bologna in 1964 and began working as a furniture and lighting designer at the San Lazzaro facility where he had the opportunity to collaborate with the famous architect and designer Carlo Scarpa.

Over the subsequent years, he engaged in a prolific professional career that resulted in the creation of various types of furniture and lamps, which still stand as works of art. His designs were characterized by their simplicity, formal cleanliness, and often a strict, Zen-like composition.
