I purchased six Knoll/Breuer Cesca armchairs in the 1980s from a collector. They are stamped from Knoll.
The Cesca Chair has a rare, almost innocuous, simplicity to its design—linearity balanced by subtle curves; a graphic juxtaposition of industrial and natural materials; and a cantilevered form that seems to float in thin air. In 1928 it was an international sensation. Nothing like it existed at the time, and its iconic form proves to be effortlessly contemporary as the decades roll by. Originally known as the B32, the chair was later renamed “the Cesca” after Marcel Breuer’s daughter, Francesca.
Tubular steel frame inspired by that of a bicycle.
A comfortable cantilever design.
