Japanese designer Kazuhide Takahama (1930–2010) started working in Kazuo Fuioka’s studio soon after completing his architecture studies in Tokyo. In 1957 he oversaw the design of Japan’s first pavilion at the Milan Triennale, where he had a fateful meeting with Dino Gavina. He developed a distinctive style, characterised by clean lines and formal restraint, in a climate of profuse cultural exchanges.
Named for Dino Gavina’s friend Marcel Duchamp, the wonderfully blocky Marcel sofa has a purity of form typical of Takahama. A softly geometric body sits on a trio of brushed aluminium brackets, which emerge like scooped feet at the front. A three-seater is available separately.
Newly reupholstered in black ‘Ponyhair’ (cowhide).

Béton Brut
Béton Brut presents rare, design-led furniture from Europe and Japan. The collection, drawn from over a century of design, coheres around functional art & sculptural forms. Béton Brut comes from the concrete finish used in modernist architecture. It is rational yet organic, just like the collection.
