The chair depicted is a classic cantilever design, most notably recognized as the Cesca Chair, designed by Marcel Breuer in 1928. It is characterized by its tubular steel frame which supports the seat and back without the need for back legs. While the original authentic production is handled by Knoll, countless versions have been produced worldwide by various manufacturers, often featuring different materials like the corduroy or velvet upholstery seen here.

Originally invented in Germany during the Bauhaus movement, the design revolutionized modern furniture by utilizing industrial materials for domestic use. Authentic versions are primarily produced in Italy and the USA by Knoll following their acquisition of the rights. However, due to its status as a design icon, replica versions are manufactured globally, particularly in China and Europe, catering to a wide range of pricing and material finishes.
