Naeko Armchair by Kazuhide Takahama Special Edition by Kiko Kostadinov
About the Item
Designed in 1958 - Paradisoterrestre Edition 2023
Materials: cherry-wood structure, brass finishes, polyurethane foam padding,
upholstery in jacquard fabrics designed by Kiko Kostadinov and wool-blend Kvadrat fabrics.
A special edition by fashion designer Kiko Kostadinov of Naeko armchair designed by Kazuhide Takahama, a wonderful project that the Japanese architect dedicated to “Naeko”, who later became his wife.
Continuing in Takahama’s tradition, Kostadinov upholsters Naeko armchair with fabrics that pull inspiration from his future wife Deanna Fanning, and the patterns used in Deanna’s, and her sister and design partner Laura’s, graduate collection.
Kostadinov’s signature aesthetic is a perfect complement to the rigorous structures typical of Takahama’s work.
This is the wooden version of a project developed when Kazuhide Takahama was in Italy to set up the Japanese pavilion at XI Triennale in Milan, 1956/57. On that occasion he met Dino Gavina, with whom he began a life long collaboration and friendship.
The first version of Naeko was produced in metal by Gavina spa, designed as a daily-bed thanks to its completely reclining backrest. It was immediately a great success, so that it was proposed also in a more valuable version in wood in 1958, exclusively as sofa with fixed backrest. In the same wooden version an armchair was also produced.

Kazuhide Takahama
Kazuhide Takahama was a Japanese designer born in Miyazaki, Japan. After graduating from the Tokyo Institute of Technology in 1953, Takahama designed the Japanese Pavilion for the Milan Triennale. There he met Dino Gavina, and over the next decade, Takahama designed several pieces for Gavina. Later, he also collaborated with B&B Italia, Simon and Knoll, just to name a few. His designs are clear in line and shape and have a high-quality design. With the functionalist approach to modernism, he designed with a Japanese sense of material and aesthetics conveniently combined with Western elements.
