{"product_id":"kazuhide-takahama-gea-bent-plywood-cabinet-for-gavina-italy-1960s","title":"Kazuhide Takahama Gea Bent Plywood Cabinet for Gavina, Italy, 1960s","description":"An original Gea tall cabinet designed by Kazuhide Takahama for Gavina, Italy, during the 1960s. One of the most quietly innovative pieces of Italian avant-garde design, the Gea perfectly embodies Takahama's philosophy of combining sculptural simplicity with functional ingenuity. Formed from two interlocking bent plywood panels finished in cream lacquer, the cabinet creates a cylindrical silhouette with integrated shelving and no visible fixings, allowing the construction itself to become the design. The distinctive vertical opening is not merely aesthetic but also serves as a practical cable management channel, enabling a lamp or electronic device to be placed on the upper shelf while discreetly concealing the cord. Compact yet highly versatile, the Gea functions beautifully as a bedside table, side cabinet, display pedestal or occasional storage unit in Mid Century Modern, Minimalist and contemporary interiors. Takahama developed the design following his influential collaboration with Dino Gavina, a partnership that produced some of the most iconic works of post-war Italian design. This tall version remains in fair vintage condition with age-related wear, veneer losses and historic repairs accumulated over six decades, reflecting the delicate nature of the original construction and contributing to its authentic vintage character. Priced accordingly.
