Three years after designing his iconic Wassily Chair, which is believed to be the first bent tubular steel chair design, Marcel Breuer created the Cesca Chair (1928). Named after his daughter Francesca, the simple design combines the Industrial Age aesthetic of tubular steel with upholstery or caning and wood. Stamped with the KnollStudio logo and Breuer’s signature, Cesca is manufactured by Knoll® according to the original and exacting specifications of the designer.
An original 1928 Cesca Chair is included in MoMA’s permanent collection.
Tubular steel frame inspired by that of a bicycle.
A comfortable cantilever design.
Polished chrome or ultra-matte powder-coated finish.
