Kazuhide Takahama
Mantilla Sofa Set
Designed in the 1960s for Simon Gavina, the Mantilla is one of Kazuhide Takahama's most refined seating designs. A Japanese born designer active in Italy, Takahama combined restraint and softness in a way that feels both architectural and intimate. The Mantilla reduces seating to a pure low volume over which the textile simply drapes, almost like a garment.
This set consists of a rare 1 seat lounge chair and the matching 2 seat sofa, both authentic vintage Simon Gavina editions, not later reissues. The internal structure, proportions and construction correspond with early production.
