Designed in 1958 - Paradisoterrestre Edition 2017Materials: cherry-wood structure, brass finishes, polyurethane foam padding, upholstery in linen velvet (different colours available)This is the wooden version of a project developed when Kazuhide Takahama was in Italy to set up the Japanese pavilion at XI Triennale in Milan, 1956/57. On that occasion he met Dino Gavina, with whom he began a life long collaboration and friendship.The first version of Naeko was produced in metal by Gavina spa, designed as a daily-bed thanks to its completely reclining backrest. It was immediately a great success, so that it was proposed also in a more valuable version in wood in 1958, exclusively as sofa with fixed backrest. In the same wooden version Naeko Armchair was also produced.A wonderful project that architect Takahama dedicated to his “Naeko”, who later became his wife.
