Description
Set of four world-renowned Cesca chairs by Marcel Breuer comes from Italy and was produced by Gavina, most likely in the 60s. It perfectly represents the modernist design form and function blend. Designed in 1928 by Breuer, a master of the Bauhaus school, the Cesca chair is celebrated for its innovative use of materials and elegant simplicity.
This particular Cesca chairs features a classic black varnished beech frame. The seat and back are made from handwoven cane, a natural material that beautifully contrasts with the dark frame and adds a touch of warmth and texture to the design. Manual cross over weaving trough the holes distingushes Gavina chairs from other Italin versions form the period. It is a very labor consuming process that was originally introduced in the 1930 in early Breuers versions manufactured by Thonet. The honey-gold color of the cane weaving has aged beautifully over time, with a lovely patina that enhances the chair’s warm appearance. The frame is crafted from tubular steel. This construction provides comfort, support and durability but also gives the chair its timeless silhouette.
Despite the passage of time, the chair remains in great original vintage condition, with minor signs of use that are typical for furniture of this age. The maker’s mark “Gavina”, placed at the bottom of the seat, confirms the original provenance and refers to early versions of the chair produced by this manufactory. Cane seat and backrest bores a signs of use but the chair is fully functional. This set is a perfect addition to any dining table or as decorative side chairs.
The chairs dimensions: H: 79/ W: 46/ D: 54 cm
Seat height: 45 cm
