Cesca Stool

Informed by the rationalist ideals of the Bauhaus, Marcel Breuer’s revelatory use of material and simple cantilever design resulted in one of the world’s most iconic seating collections.The Cesca seating collection 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 B32, the collection was later renamed Cesca after Marcel Breuer’s daughter, Francesca.
