It looks beautiful until you sit on it.
By: Janis S., Homeowner (San Diego)
The chair looks fabulous, and Knoll was great about getting samples to me so I have a chair that looks amazing. If you want a chair that people actually want to sit on, this isn't it. It's like sitting on a beautifully upholstered board. Since it isn't returnable, I would not recommend this chair to anyone who actually expects to sit on it.
Designer: Kazuhide Takahama
After graduating from the Tokyo Institute of Technology in 1953, Takahama went to Italy to work for the Gavina Group. While there, in 1965 he introduced a knocked-down storage unit, called "DaDa", to great acclaim. His simple but well-harmonized work exemplifies his internationally acclaimed talent for his balance of the Japanese aesthetic and Western culture.
