The Tulu chairs are a refined example of Italian radical design from the 1970s, created by Japanese designer Kazuhide Takahama during his collaboration with the influential Simon Gavina company.

The design reflects Takahama’s minimalist architectural approach, combining clean geometric lines with industrial materials such as chrome-plated steel and upholstered seating. The result is a visually light yet structurally precise chair that embodies the dialogue between Japanese design philosophy and Italian modernism.

Produced by Gavina, one of the most important Italian design manufacturers of the 20th century, the chairs are part of a legacy that includes collaborations with some of the most significant designers of the era.

This set is upholstered in blue leather with a chrome frame, offering a strong visual contrast that makes them suitable for both residential interiors and contemporary contract spaces.

The chairs remain in very good vintage condition with minor signs of age consistent with use.

A highly collectible example of 1970s Italian radical design, combining international influence, industrial elegance and Gavina’s historical design relevance.
