Kazuhide Takahama (Nobeoka, 1930 – Bologna, February 10, 2010) was a Japanese architect and designer. Born in 1930, he studied architecture in Tokyo and after graduation, he joined Kazuo Fujioka's studio.In 1957, he came to Italy to oversee the architectural setup of the pavilion through which Japan participated for the first time in the XI Triennale di Milano, where he met the designer and entrepreneur Dino Gavina (1922-2007) with whom he began a professional collaboration that would last a lifetime. In 1968, Gavina sold his company Gavina SPA, along with its plant in Foligno designed by Achille Castiglioni, to Knoll International, and together with Maria Simoncini (1927-2010), he founded the manufacturing company Simon International (later acquired by Cassina). The following year, they opened the exhibition and commercial center in Bologna named after Marcel Duchamp, with the participation of the famous Dadaist painter and photographer Man Ray.
