The Knoll Cesca Dining Chair is a celebrated Bauhaus design by Marcel Breuer, first developed in 1928. Its combination of traditional woven cane and modern tubular steel captures the spirit of an era that brought industrial materials and everyday functionality into furniture design.
A cantilevered chrome-plated frame gives the chair its distinctive profile, while the cane seat and backrest introduce texture and warmth. The solid beechwood edging provides a refined contrast to the steel structure, balancing the chair’s industrial character with natural materials. The result is a design that feels at home around a dining table, from a period interior to a contemporary setting.
Part of Knoll’s collection of modern design classics, the Cesca remains a practical choice as well as an enduring style statement. Its open frame keeps the silhouette visually light, making it easy to pair with a wide range of dining tables and interior styles. Read more about the history and design of the cesca chair.
