About the Item
Italy / 1930 / chair / Marcel Breuer / Cesca B64 / Tubular Steel, wood and Rattan / Bauhaus
An iconic Cesca armchair, based on the groundbreaking design by Marcel Breuer in 1928, one of the most influential architects and furniture designers of the 20th century. This model exemplifies Breuer’s visionary use of tubular steel, a material he famously adapted from bicycle construction to revolutionize modern furniture.
The chair features the classic cantilevered chrome-plated steel frame, paired with a finely woven rattan cane seat and backrest, framed in warm, sculpted wood. This combination of industrial structure and natural materials became a hallmark of Bauhaus functionalism; harmonious, lightweight, and radically modern.
The Cesca was the first mass-produced chair to combine a tubular-steel frame with a caned seat and back, and it remains one of the most celebrated furniture designs of the modern era. Its name pays tribute to Breuer’s adopted daughter, Francesca (“Cesca”).
Originally produced by Thonet, followed later by Gavina and Knoll, the Cesca chair has become a global design classic. An early 1928 example is part of the permanent collection at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), New York, where curator Cara McCarty has called it “one of the 10 most important chairs of the 20th century.”
Timeless in silhouette and unmatched in historical significance, this Cesca armchair is a standout piece for any modern or vintage-inspired interior, a perfect synthesis of Bauhaus innovation and enduring style.
We have two Cesca chairs in stock.
