About the Item
This set of six Cesca B32 chairs is a 1970s Thonet edition of the iconic model designed in the 1930s by Marcel Breuer, one of the leading figures of the Bauhaus movement. Celebrated as a milestone in modern design, the Cesca chair perfectly embodies the balance between technical innovation and timeless aesthetics.
The chrome-plated tubular steel frame features Breuer’s signature cantilever construction — eliminating the need for rear legs and creating a flexible, comfortable seating experience. The natural cane seat and backrest bring lightness and transparency, while the black-lacquered bentwood frame adds structure and elegance.
Revolutionary in its day, the Cesca was one of the first pieces of furniture to merge traditional craftsmanship — hand-woven cane and bentwood — with the emerging industrial language of metal. This striking combination shaped the future of 20th-century design and continues to inspire contemporary creators.
An undisputed Bauhaus icon, the Cesca B32 is more than a functional chair: it is a design statement that expresses a vision of modernity, simplicity, and refined comfort.
