The Cesca B32 chair combines the lightness of chrome tubular metal, the warmth of black lacquered wood, and the visual softness of gray faux leather. This second-hand chair, with Breuer & Bauhaus design, naturally fits into a contemporary interior, around a dining table or in an office. Its seat offers measured comfort, while its proportions allow it to be placed without weighing down the space. The contrasts between the metallic structure and the lacquered surfaces create a sober and refined presence, true to the eighties. Around a light table, it accommodates a daily dinner as well as a snack, with discreet elegance. Length: 47 cm Width: 48 cm Height: 82.5 cm Seat height: 47 cm Seat width: 43 cm Seat depth: 38 cm A brief history of the chair In the Middle Ages, sitting on a backrest seat was a rare privilege, reserved for the one who led the assembly: the "president" [from the Latin praesidere, to sit in front]. For a long time a symbol of prestige compared to the benches and stools of the common people, the chair only became democratized in the 18th century to become an everyday object. It is distinguished from the armchair by the absence of armrests, a structure designed to offer total freedom of movement around a table or desk. Resulting from a constant quest between lightness and solidity, it has evolved from carved solid wood to more modern lines, making each seat a witness to the history of comfort.
