Djuna Side Table

$1,062

Made by Cassina

Designed by Kazuhide Takahama

Kazuhide Takahama designed the Djuna Side Table for Cassina as a quiet conversation between two design traditions: the disciplined minimalism of his Japanese sensibility and the tubular chromed steel vocabulary that defined European modernism in the 1920s.

The elliptical top reads as both geometric precision and restrained gesture. Its proportions are considered without being calculated, arriving at a silhouette that feels inevitable. The chromed steel base anchors the composition with structural clarity, neither ornamental nor merely functional.

Four finish options allow the table to shift in character while holding its essential form:

  • Matte white lacquer, for a clean architectural presence
  • Matte black lacquer, for depth and monochromatic resolution
  • White Carrara marble, carrying the natural variation of Italian stone
  • Black Marquiña marble, with the distinctive veining of Spanish quarries

Each material choice changes the atmosphere of the piece without altering its identity. The Djuna rewards attention to detail and suits interiors where proportion does the work that ornament cannot.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who designed the Djuna Side Table?

The Djuna was designed by Kazuhide Takahama, a Japanese architect and designer who worked extensively with leading Italian manufacturers from the 1960s onward. His work is characterized by a disciplined reduction of form that bridges Japanese and European modernist traditions.

What materials is the Djuna Side Table available in?

The Djuna is offered with an elliptical top in four options: matte white lacquer, matte black lacquer, white Carrara marble, or Black Marquiña marble. All versions feature a tubular chromed steel base.

Is the Djuna made to order?

Yes, the Djuna Side Table is produced to order by Cassina, which means lead times will vary. This is standard for Cassina pieces, as each is manufactured to specification in Italy.

How does the Djuna's elliptical form differ from a standard side table?

The ellipse avoids the visual rigidity of a circle or rectangle, offering a softer geometry that adapts well to asymmetrical arrangements. Takahama's choice of this form gives the table a sense of movement while preserving formal restraint.

What design periods does the Djuna reference?

The tubular chromed steel base references the vocabulary of European modernism from the 1920s, associated with movements like Bauhaus and the International Style. Takahama filters this through a Japanese minimalist sensibility, resulting in a piece that belongs to no single period.
