Original Marcel Breuer “Cesca” arm chairs
1960’s
With “Stendig” manufacturer labels.
Breuer first designed this chair in 1928. Originally known as the B32, the chair’s revelatory use of material and simple form made it an international sensation—nothing like it existed at the time.
In the early-1960s, the Modern Italian furniture manufacturer Gavina Group acquired the rights to the design. The company’s founder and owner, Dino Gavina, decided to rename the chair “the Cesca” after Breuer’s daughter, Francesca. The Cesca chairs were made and distributed under the Stendig name from 1962-1968. And in 1968, Knoll acquired the Gavina Group and brought the designs of Breuer.
