Our reproduction set of 4 seats the whole table in stained black or natural solid oak, ready for family dinners and café-style breakfasts alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout Marcel Breuer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarcel Breuer (1902–1981) was a Hungarian-born modernist who studied and later taught at the Bauhaus in Dessau, where he pioneered the use of tubular steel in furniture. His 1928 cantilever design — named \"Cesca\" after his daughter Francesca — was inspired by the curved handlebars of his Adler bicycle and revolutionized seating by eliminating the rear legs entirely. The combination of steel, wood, and woven cane reflected the Bauhaus mission of marrying industrial materials with craft tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter emigrating to the United States in 1937, Breuer became one of the most influential architects of mid-century modernism, designing the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York and UNESCO Headquarters in Paris. The Cesca remains one of the most celebrated chairs of the 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMaterials \u0026amp; Craftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur reproduction stays true to Breuer's original specification:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\" (25 mm) diameter chrome-plated tubular steel, 2.5 mm wall thickness — the signature cantilever curve supports the sitter without rear legs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBackrest and seat frame:\u003c\/strong\u003e solid oak in stained black or natural finish, with hand-finished edges.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeat and back panel:\u003c\/strong\u003e natural Indonesian cane, hand-woven in the traditional octagonal pattern.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cane is a living material — slight surface burrs are characteristic of authentic hand-woven rattan and soften with use.

Avoid direct sun for extended periods (the cane can dry out) and damp basements (it absorbs moisture). The oak frame can be conditioned occasionally with a wood-friendly polish; the chrome wipes clean with a soft microfiber cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Style a Set of Four Cesca Chairs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour matching cane cantilevers turn a dining table into a composition: the repeated chrome curves read like a rhythm down each side. Natural oak leans warm and Scandinavian — pair it with pale woods, linen, and off-white walls. Stained black is more graphic, holding its own against walnut tables and gallery-white interiors. Either way, keep the tabletop simple and let the woven cane carry the texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComplete the look:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/marcel-breuer-cesca-cane-chairs\"\u003eMarcel Breuer cane dining chairs (set of 2)\u003c\/a\u003e — same chair, smaller set for compact tables\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/thonet-style-bentwood-bistro-chairs-set-of-4\"\u003eThonet-style bentwood bistro chairs (set of 4)\u003c\/a\u003e — café-style cane dining\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/akari-washi-paper-pendant-lamp\"\u003eAkari washi paper pendant lamp\u003c\/a\u003e — soft sculptural light over the table\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich finish should I choose — black or natural oak?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stained black finish reads more graphic and contemporary, pairing well with white walls and walnut tables.
