Gaja Chair by Kazuhide Takahama for Cassina

Kazuhide Takahama Gaga Chair For Cassina A light, airy stackable metal chair. Gaja is a contemporary piece of furniture reminiscent of the pure classicism of Rationalism, to which the chair lays legitimate claim, thanks to its streamlined, practical nature. Designed by Japanese architect Kazuhide Takahama, the Gaja design chair was originally crafted for a small local restaurant and is characterized by its open structure with frame in arc-welded, chrome-plated tubular steel. STRUCTURE Frame in bent tubular metal with chrome or painted finish. PADDING Flexible polyurethane foam. UPHOLSTERY Fabric or leather. Light, slender and stackable, the Gaja chair is a contemporary object that makes constant reference to the pure classic inspiration of Rationalism. The open structure, wrought from chrome-finished resistance-welded steel rods, was designed with a small restaurant in mind, and later became part of the SimonCollezione thanks to its versatile and functional character. The Gaja chair is available with a padded back-rest, as well as in a stool option, both being perfect for soft contract applications. This chair has now been completely redeveloped and further improved by reinforcing the seat with a thermoformed seat and backrest with elastic straps, as well as inserting a wadding cover and zip that allows the upholstery to be removed.
