2 Cesca B32 chair in canework - Marcel Breuer
The Cesca B32 chair, (or Cantilever chair) was designed in 1925.
This is not only one of the emblematic creations of Mr. Breuer's career, but also of the Bauhaus movement.
It is easily recognizable by its tubular steel structure, with a simple and slightly rounded aesthetic. The use of cantilevered tubular steel is one of the typical hallmarks of Breuer's work.
The unique feature of this chair lies in its balance. Calculations of weight and cantilever were necessary to design this iconic chair. A true technical feat in 1925.
