Knoll Marcel Breuer - Cesca Chair

The cantilevered frame is designed to provide a natural, slight flex when you sit, which offers a unique, spring-like comfort compared to traditional four-legged chairs. This inherent flexibility allows the chair to move slightly with your body, making it surprisingly comfortable for longer dining sessions.

Cane seating offers a classic, airy aesthetic that highlights the chair's modernist roots, though it requires a bit more care to prevent sagging over time. Upholstered options provide a softer, more cushioned feel and are generally more durable for high-traffic dining areas.

All frame finishes are applied over durable tubular steel, ensuring the chair remains structurally sound regardless of the color you choose. While the Polished Chrome offers a classic industrial look, the powder-coated options like Black, White, or Red provide a more matte, contemporary finish that is highly resistant to scratches.

To keep the cane in good condition, avoid placing the chair in direct, harsh sunlight for extended periods, which can cause the natural material to become brittle. Occasionally wiping it with a slightly damp cloth can help maintain the necessary moisture levels to keep the fibers flexible.

Yes, but it is recommended to use felt glides on the base of the tubular steel frame. This will prevent the metal from scratching wood or tile surfaces and help dampen the sound when moving the chairs.

The ease of cleaning depends on your chosen material; leather is generally the most forgiving and can be wiped clean, while nylon and polyester fabrics are durable but may require professional cleaning for stubborn stains. We recommend checking the specific care instructions for your chosen textile to ensure longevity.
