Vintage B64 chair by Marcel Breuer
The Cesca B64 armchair is a chair designed in 1928, a few years after its larger sibling, the B32, a model very similar to it. Both are iconic pieces by Marcel Breuer.
The B64 armchair has two armrests and therefore a unique curve. This is the main difference between the two vintage chairs.
Indeed, both seats are made from a single steel tube. The B32's tube extends to the top of the backrest and stops abruptly there. For the B64 model, Breuer opted for a tube fixed approximately halfway up the backrest.
This unique curve extends towards the front of the chair, forming sublime armrests. This rounded design gives the armchair a combination of robustness, minimalism, and comfort.
