W58 Gaja Cassina

The W58 Gaja chair by Japanese architect Kazuhide Takahama for Cassina is distinguished by a functional and adaptable design that adheres to the principles of rationalism and the logic of technical precision and accuracy.

The W58 Gaja chair perfectly exemplifies the concept of industrial design by utilizing a design process that combines elegance and utility to provide a seat that is ideal for any setting or purpose. The legs of the chair are constructed in such a way that they form an open circular portion; this is achieved using induction electrowelding. This design reimagines the idea of a seat supported by four legs in favour of a structure that is practical and adaptable due to the fact that it enables many components to be stacked one on top of the other. The backrest is an extension of the padded circular seat, and both are covered in leather or fabric for comfort.
