About the Item

Experience the pinnacle of Bauhaus design with this extraordinary set of four Cesca armchairs (Model B64), presented in a striking all-black edition. This rare configuration transforms Marcel Breuer's iconic 1928 design into something even more dramatic and sophisticated, showcasing the versatility of this modernist masterpiece. What makes this set particularly coveted is its monochromatic execution - featuring black-stained beech wood and black lacquered tubular steel frames. While traditional Cesca chairs typically sport chrome frames, these 1970s Italian-made pieces offer a bold, unified aesthetic that feels remarkably contemporary while maintaining their historical significance. The B64 model, distinguished by its elegant armrests, represents Breuer's most refined version of the Cesca design. The cantilevered frame - inspired by bicycle handlebars during Breuer's Bauhaus period - creates the illusion of floating in air, demonstrating the revolutionary spirit that made this design a permanent fixture in modern furniture history. These chairs have gracefully aged, displaying the kind of patina that only authentic vintage pieces acquire. The wear is consistent with their age and use, adding character while maintaining their structural integrity and sophisticated appearance - exactly what discerning collectors seek in vintage pieces. Historical Note: Named after Breuer's daughter Francesca, the Cesca chair represents one of the first uses of tubular steel in domestic furniture. This revolutionary design approach earned it a permanent place in the Museum of Modern Art's collection and its status as a true Bauhaus icon. Perfect for both contemporary interiors and modernist collections, these chairs represent not just furniture, but a piece of design history that continues to influence furniture design today. Additional photographs are available upon request to help you appreciate every detail of these remarkable pieces. 🏆 Collection Highlight: The all-black finish makes this set particularly rare and desirable for collectors and design enthusiasts seeking distinctive pieces with historical significance.
