About the Item
Set of Four Marcel Breuer B32 Cesca Arm Chairs, Italy, 1970s
An enduring icon of Bauhaus design, the B32 Cesca Arm Chair by Marcel Breuer remains one of the most influential seating designs of the 20th century. This rare set of four, produced in Italy during the 1970s, showcases the perfect harmony of modernist innovation and traditional craftsmanship.
The Cesca chair, introduced in 1928 and named after Breuer’s adopted daughter Francesca, was revolutionary in its time and continues to be celebrated for its minimalist elegance. Its hallmark cantilevered chrome-plated tubular steel frame eliminates the need for back legs, creating a striking floating effect that redefined modern seating. The woven cane back and seat provide breathability, comfort, and natural warmth, while the solid wood armrests soften the industrial character of the frame, resulting in a timeless balance of form and function.
This set retains its authentic 1970s Italian craftsmanship, featuring sturdy frames and finely detailed caning. The condition is good, consistent with age and use, with only minor surface wear and no structural issues—typical of well-preserved vintage pieces.
Dimensions:
Height: 80 cm (31.5 in)
Width: 66 cm (25.98 in)
Depth: 43 cm (16.93 in)
Seat Height: 46 cm (18.11 in)
Versatile and sophisticated, these chairs are equally at home in a dining room, office, or creative studio. Their sculptural profile and historical significance make them highly collectible, while their comfort and durability ensure continued relevance for contemporary interiors.
With their distinctive Bauhaus character and enduring appeal, this set of four Cesca arm chairs represents a rare opportunity to acquire authentic mid-century icons by one of modernism’s most important designers.
