Cesca Chair

Cesca Chair — Marcel Breuer, 1928

Born in 1928, just three years after the revolutionary Wassily Chair, the Cesca Chair is Marcel Breuer's most enduring gift to the world of furniture design. Named after his daughter Francesca, it broke every convention of its time — abandoning the four-legged structure entirely in favour of a single, continuous S-shaped steel tube that flexes gently under your weight, giving the Cesca its signature springy, responsive feel.

The woven rattan back and seat — available in hand-woven or machine-woven versions — bring warmth and texture to the cool precision of the steel frame. The result is a chair that feels equally at home at a dining table, a desk, or in a reading corner. Timeless, lightweight, and endlessly versatile.
