Cesca Side Chair By Marcel Breuer For Knoll, Mid-Century Modern

1st Dibs

$890

The Cesca Side Chair, designed by modernist pioneer Marcel Breuer and produced by Knoll, is an iconic fusion of innovation, craftsmanship, and timeless design. Introduced in 1928, the Cesca was one of the first chairs to use tubular steel as a structural element—an approach inspired by bicycle construction and central to Breuer’s Bauhaus philosophy of industrial simplicity.The chair features Breuer’s hallmark cantilevered frame, which eliminates the need for back legs and creates a flexible, buoyant seating experience. Its sleek, continuous steel form is complemented by a warm, tactile mix of natural materials: a handwoven cane seat and back paired with beautifully crafted solid wood beech framing. This balance of industrial and organic elements is a defining characteristic of the Cesca’s enduring appeal.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.This model includes a distinctive color combination: Black seat paired with grey backrest.
