Cesca Chair by Marcel Breuer

Designed in 1928, Marcel Breuer’s Cesca chair married traditional craftsmanship with industrial methods and materials to help make tubular steel furniture an international sensation and a modern institution. The cantilevered form exploits the possibilities unique to the material and gives the chair added flexibility and comfort.

The Modernist Cesca chair is available with and without arms, with hand-woven cane inserts and in hardwood beech or ebonized beech frames. 

A set of beech Cesca chairs with cane wicker seats appear in Stefan’s Father’s house in Black Mirror: Bandersnatch, and in Empire of Light around Hilary’s dining table (with and without arms). These classic chairs also make an appearance in Swedish series Limbo, Someone Great, We Have Never Been Modern and Conversations With Friends.
