Kazuhide Takahama (Jp.1930-2010)
x6 Model ‘Tulu’ dining chairs. Simon (Gavina/Simon International). / Printed makers labels to the underside. 1960s.
Chromed slender steel rod frames, with pink/champagne upholstered seats.
A rare set of 6 sleek dining chairs. Unlike traditional chairs bent from a heavy metal tube, the Tulu uses a slender steel rod that was electric induction-welded before receiving a chrome or painted finish. This technique allowed for tighter, continuous curves and a lightweight, graphic silhouette.
The upholstery is showing definite signs of age and use – we do not believe that this is the original upholstery (although have seen many for sale with the same fabric?) and highly recommend that the buyer has them reupholstered for use (we have priced them accordingly)
Price: 2.000 euro
Exceptional pair of armchairs (or possible desk chairs).
Artifort. 1930s
A pair of rare Dutch modernist /functionalist chairs manufactured in the highest quality materials: silver-plated frames, horsehair upholstered seats and with ebony handgrips.
The chairs are from the provincial government building in Maastricht designed in the 1930s by the then ‘rijksbouwmeester’ (chief government architect) Gustav Cornelis Bremer. They were produced by the Maastricht company Artifort as a one-off commission exclusively for the members of the provincial council.
Price: 3.850 euro

Simon Gavina produced a collection of sculptural designs of which this table was one, named “Ultrarazionale” which reflected Scarpa’s approach to Post-war Italian design. The designs have subsequently become icons of the c20th.
