Set of Five Cesca Chairs by Marcel Breuer for Gavina, Italy 1960s

An enduring symbol of modernist design, the Cesca chair by Marcel Breuer merges industrial materials with natural textures in a timeless balance of comfort and geometry. This set of Five exemplifies Breuer’s celebrated cantilevered form — a design that redefined 20th-century seating. The chrome tubular frame creates a floating effect, while the handwoven cane rattan seat and back bring organic warmth and flexibility.

Cantilevered Design and Bauhaus Elegance

Introduced in the late 1920s, Breuer’s Cesca chair represents the essence of Bauhaus innovation — combining new materials with human-centred comfort. The black beechwood frame outlines the cane panels, emphasizing form through contrast. These chairs remain both visually light and structurally robust, making them ideal for dining rooms, studios, or workspaces seeking refined modern character.

Gavina and Italian Craftsmanship

Produced in Italy by Dino Gavina during the 1960s, these Cesca chairs brought Breuer’s revolutionary concept into the realm of Italian modernism. Gavina’s editions are prized for their quality chrome plating, precise joinery, and fidelity to Breuer’s original vision. The combination of chrome, rattan, and wood continues to resonate as a timeless representation of post-war European design.
