Description
The Cesca chair is an icon of 20th-century design, combining simplicity and sophistication. Its tubular metal frame and wicker seat create a striking contrast between the industrial and the natural. The cantilevered structure of the Cesca chair gives it a sense of lightness and fluidity, as if it were floating in space. Designed in 1928 by Marcel Breuer, the Cesca chair was a true revolution in the world of furniture, standing out for its modernity and clean aesthetics. It was originally known as the B32, before being renamed Cesca, in homage to Francesca, Breuer's daughter. Thanks to its timeless design, it remains today a reference model in the world of modern furniture.
Architect and furniture designer, Marcel Breuer, born in 1902 in Hungary, had a strong influence on the Bauhaus school, where he was a brilliant student. After a year in Paris working for an architect, he returned to the Bauhaus, where he ran the carpentry workshop from 1925 to 1928, combining art and technology. During this time, he created his tubular steel collection, including the B3 chair, better known as the Wassily Chair, published by Knoll. This armchair is now recognized as one of the icons of modern design. After a brief stint in London from 1935 to 1937 with Isokon, one of the first modern design manufacturers in the UK, he emigrated to the United States. Marcel Breuer taught at Harvard’s Architecture School and worked as an architect in collaboration with Johnson and Paul Rudolph, and later Walter Gropius. He was the first architect in history to exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
