Description

This is a Cesca armchair, model 50A, originally designed by Marcel Breuer in 1928. The listed price includes one 50A chair, and we have several available for individual purchase. These examples were manufactured by Knoll in 2018. The design features a tubular chromed-steel cantilever base, and has a molded plywood seat and back. Their upholstery is currently done in a contrasting blue and black combination. The arms are padded and upholstered as well.

Each chair measures 23.5 inches long, 23.5 inches wide, and 31.5 inches high. They have a seat height of 17.75 inches, and an arm height of 27 inches. The chromed-steel cantilever bases are in very good condition with no pitting. The upholstery is also in good condition, showing some very slight wear. Overall, these chairs are in very good condition. Please see photos.

What should I expect when ordering an item with lead time?

Estimated lead times are shown under "Delivery", above. Read our shipping policy to learn more.

Lead times are estimated based on previous production times from our manufacturing partners, but lead times can change depending on availability and circumstances outside of Rarify's control.

For example: if purchasing an imported or made-to-order product, international shipping and import times depend on many factors. This includes US customs operations, global trade circumstances, and production facilities in other countries.

We will try to fulfill your order as quickly as possible. Our international freight forwarding partners help to take burden off of you during the process of importing; we appreciate your patience while your order is fulfilled.

Purchasing made-to-order is one of the most responsible ways to purchase, as it helps prevent furniture waste on our planet.

Vintage items are typically in-stock in the USA and ready to ship once purchased.

Do you deliver to NYC?

Yes, in-stock items can often be delivered to NYC quickly by our skilled couriers. Pieces are delivered by hand to your residence. This typically takes 1-2 weeks for items stocked at our warehouse in PA.

What is Freight shipping?

Freight shipping is how most furniture is shipped: secured by hand on a pallet and transported on a truck.

Furniture arrives curbside, often on the shipping pallet for protection.

Freight shipments can take longer and are more costly than regular mail, but help to prevent damage to furniture during delivery.
