Cesca Contract: back in cane insert and upholstered seat: With Arms - black matt painting, Hallingdal 65 (S)907, Polished Chrome frame

The Cesca Chair has a rare, almost innocuous, simplicity to its design—linearity balanced by subtle curves; a graphic juxtaposition of industrial and natural materials; and a cantilevered form that seems to float in thin air. In 1928 it was an international sensation. Nothing like it existed at the time, and its iconic form proves to be effortlessly contemporary as the decades roll by. Originally known as the B32, the chair was later renamed “the Cesca” after Marcel Breuer’s daughter, Francesca.
