Cesca Chairs

Cesca Chair by Marcel Breuer – a Bauhaus design icon

The Cesca chair, designed by Marcel Breuer in 1928, stands as a hallmark of modernist design. Combining a sleek tubular steel frame with natural cane seating, it exemplifies the Bauhaus principles of simplicity and functionality. Originally produced by Thonet, the chair gained widespread acclaim in the 1950s under Italian manufacturer Dino Gavina, who renamed it after Breuer’s daughter, Francesca. In 1968, Knoll acquired the design, ensuring its continued production and cementing its status as a design icon. Today, the Cesca chair remains a sought-after piece, celebrated for its timeless aesthetic and enduring comfort. You can read more on our blog.
