Kazuhide Takahama was born in Japan. After graduating in the Tokyo Institute of Technology in 1953, Kazuhide Takahama designed the Japanese Pavilion for the Milan Triennale. While supervising the installation, Takahama met Dino Gavina, who invited him to design for his design company, Gavina SpA. Over the next decade, Takahama introduced several designs through Gavina, including a knocked-down storage unit called DaDa and a semi-circular shelving system called GEA.
He moved along postmodernism with his Japanese poetic view. He used essential lines, balance and geometric figures in different colours. He add experimentation by the use of the high density foam in his sofas. In addition, he practiced functional arts and ceramics, also using traditional techniques from Japan.
