Set of 6 Cesca chairs designed by Marcel Breuer, produced by Gavina 1960.
The chairs show slight signs of wear, seats restored.
The meeting between Vienna straw and metal tubular, tradition and innovation, Thonet and Bauhaus, is what characterizes the legendary B32 chair, called Cesca, designed by Marcel Lajos Breuer. Born in Pécs, Hungary, in 1902, Breuer was from a very young age one of the main protagonists of the Bauhaus, where he entered as a student at 18 and immediately became a teacher (from 1922 to 1928). Walter Gropius – director of the school – invites him to run the furniture workshop, and it is in this context that Breuer can produce some of his most important experiments, combining art, industrial production and artisan knowledge. Cesca is certainly one of its most successful jobs, together with the B3 armchair, later also known as Wassily.
