Marcel Breuer Cesca B32 Chairs, Set of Vintage Bauhaus Classics (1960s-70s)
About the Item
Step into the world of iconic Modernist design with these timeless Cesca chairs (Model B32) - a masterpiece created by the legendary Marcel Breuer during his Bauhaus period. First designed in 1928 and named after his daughter Francesca, these chairs revolutionized furniture design by being among the first to use tubular steel in domestic furniture, marking a pivotal moment in 20th-century design history.
These particular examples, crafted in Italy during the 1960s-70s, showcase the enduring appeal of Breuer's groundbreaking cantilever design. The elegant chrome frames feature the signature continuous bent tubular steel structure that seems to defy gravity - a testament to Breuer's innovative spirit and his background in bicycle manufacturing, which inspired this revolutionary use of steel tubing.
The sophisticated combination of industrial materials with traditional craftsmanship is exemplified in the beautiful woven cane seat and backrest, offering both visual lightness and exceptional comfort. This natural material adds warmth and texture to the minimal steel frame, creating a perfect balance between modernist principles and timeless comfort.
These chairs have been lovingly maintained, with the chrome frames displaying a beautiful patina that only genuine vintage pieces acquire. While maintaining their original integrity, we've ensured their functionality for decades to come as we will professionally replace two backrests with period-appropriate cane weaving. The wooden elements show subtle signs of use that tell the story of their journey through time - exactly what discerning collectors appreciate in authentic vintage pieces.
Perfect for both contemporary and traditional settings, these chairs represent not just furniture, but a piece of design history. They're equally at home around a dining table, as occasional seating, or as standalone statement pieces in any room.
