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.

Marcel Breuer
Marcel Breuer is equally celebrated for his achievements in architecture and furniture. He was a student and master carpenter at the Bauhaus in the 1920s, and then the architect on many notable projects, including the original Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, the Cleveland Museum of Art, and the UNESCO headquarters in Paris.
