Price History
Description
A master of design innovation, Marcel Breuer married traditional craftsmanship with industrial methods and materials to help make tubular steel furniture an international sensation. In honour of the 100th anniversary of the Bauhuas, the Cesca Chair is elevated to new heights - namely bar. Much like its earlier predecessors, the Cesca stool fuses materials in a simple yet sophisticated way. The cantilevered frame emphases the strength of steel, lending the stool added flexibility and comfort. Whilst the woven wicker frame brings charm and character to the design.
Our Stylist Says
I love this bar stool for its sleek, timeless design and versatile appeal, making it a great addition to both modern and retro-inspired interiors. The satin black finish adds a sophisticated edge, while the cane detailing brings in a touch of warmth and texture. It works particularly well in minimalist kitchens, breakfast bars, or home pub areas, where its clean lines can stand out without overpowering the space. To style it effectively, consider pairing it with other black or natural wood accents, and keep the surrounding colour palette simple for a contemporary look. Practical tips include using it alongside a matching counter or bar table, and layering with coordinating textiles or accessories to soften the steel frame's industrial vibe.

About Heal's
A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
