KIGA - Marcel Breuer per Gavina - Chair (3) - Steel

Description Homogeneous lot of three cantilever chairs of the famous model “Cesca”, designed by Marcel Breuer and produced in Italy by Gavina. The structure in chrome tubular supports the seat and back with a black frame and a Vienna straw weave. The combination of continuous metal structure, essential geometry, and natural weave constitutes one of the most recognizable languages of 20th-century modernist design. Elements of authenticity and collectible interest The lot presents a particularly important element for the market: all three chairs retain the label “GAVINA MODEL – made in Italy – reg. trade mark KIGA s.p.a.”. The concordant presence of the markings on the three specimens, together with construction consistency and the original caning, makes the lot decidedly more interesting than specimens without a label or later reproductions. The inscription KIGA is consistent with Gavina’s Italian production in the period after the late sixties. State of conservation Overall excellent condition. The canings show little use, still elastic, well tensioned and fully supportive, with no sagging, warping, or distortion. There is only a slight natural darkening of the straw, compatible with age. The chromed finishes are very well preserved and bright, with some normal signs of use and aging; the black frames show only very slight traces compatible with very light use. The whole retains a homogeneous, solid appearance and excellent visual quality.
