Because whenever “Western” is used, it’s always trying to rope in an arbitrary selection of European countries in the term, when we really have no universally shared culture, not even with each other, never mind with America. It gets even stupider when you realize that for whatever reason , the term is almost always excluding countries like Mexico, even though it’s as “west” as the U.S is.

I have seen and sat on one of this cesca chair 20 years ago in a very nice restaurant. It was so awesome ! It was made of wrought iron, with a curve arm rest, extremely cooling, and beautifully crafted with designs. The wrought iron gave it a sturdy feel and you can bounce on the chair any how you want it....like a trampolin except you are sitted and you still feel very safe on it. It gave me an unforgetable experience indeed.

@@derAtze I'll try to be brief. Mart Stam from the Netherlands designed the so called Kragstuhl in 1926. That chair looks almost like the more famous Breuer chair. Although it didn't have the flexibility which makes a cesca chair so comfortable. In 1927 Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (German architect who also was part of the Bauhaus) also designed a Freischwinger (cesca chair) for the famous Weißenhofsiedlung in Stuttgart, Germany. Then Marcel Breuer took that design and made it flexible making it the chair we know today. In 1929 a lawsuit was filed by the holder of the rights to Mart Stams design against a company called Thonet. Thonet produced a lot of Bauhaus furniture back then and still does so today. In the trial the Reichsgericht (highest German court back then) decided that Mart Stam hat the copyright to the chair. But here's a twist. Mies van der Rohe had filed a patent for his chair. That patent was challenged but the Reichsgericht rejected that. So although Mart Stam owned the rights to the overall design, Mies van der Rohe owned the patent to the technical design of the chair. Marcel Breuer didn't officially have partly copyright rights. I hope I could give a brief overview from the top of my head. There's certainly more to this. Its still today a discussed topic in German arts history. Oh and you can still by the Kragstuhl by Mart Stam today. It's built by Thonet. Just like the Breuer chair ;)

Asking prices for the 80s ones being anything more than $5 is hilarious because they were the defacto "Cheap table set" of the time especially in a brass color. You could buy a set of 4 with a octagonal table at from like Fingerhut and bolt them together. I can recall NUMEROUS times someone of larger stature bouncing away in one like a rocking chair and having it collapse under them.

I remember us having some in the 80s and cheap is right. I think though that they took some bad liberties. I remember the tubular steel being in segments. The chairs would wobble all the time before we got rid of them. When she mentioned a single tube I realized how far the design had fallen. Personally I’m not nostalgic for these because of those shoddy chairs.

My parents had those when I was growing up, they were a bit of a mess tho because the weaved part would break after a while (specially because we usually rested all the weight of our bodies on one knee and feet on them). That’s why after fixing them (and scolding us) many times, they retired them to the kitchen… but they made a mess on the tile floor because we had lost the little plastic things that protected the floor from the metal. After 20 years the frame gave in so I would say they were a bit of a mess for our household

Along about 1972, my grandparents had lawn chairs that were 100% steel and were design clones of these much lighter, fancier chairs. They were very heavy, durable, and uncomfortable with their steel back and seat. I guess a spin-off version of the original, for sitting outdoors in the country, shucking corn, and breaking beans for canning. Those were some tough chairs.

Ok, just checked how to repair it: seems like it's doable at home with a little patience. The wood frame can be separated from the webbing. Still, you need to find the cane webbing first.

I am literally sitting in one while I came across this. I love this chair for it is just genius how a bent steel rod can hold a human comfortably in air with a little pleasant rocking movement.

How do you get 16 bends in the frame? I count only 10, 2 of which set the back at its slight angle. Also, visual designs like that of the Cesca chair are protected by patent, not copyright, and design patents only last 14 years. Thus, regardless of whether had acquired legal protection in the US for his design (he did not), the patent would have expired by the time the design rose to widespread popularity. And, it's even possible that a patent on the design would have been refused, based on prior art - the fact that bent steel tubing had been used for similar furniture pieces quite extensively before Breuer's design.

I had that design. I had a bad habit of rocking on my chair, standing it on the rear only. Well, one day I rocked and then so gently and silently, the chair folded up, leaving me comfortably on the floor. Since then, I have to have four legs on the floor.

Gonna disagree that the over-the-top handle on a teapot is 'more comfortable' than one with a side handle. As a regular teapot user, the top ones require an awkward and uncomfortable twisting of the hand, arm, and wrist whilst the side ones are much easier to pour.

I really appreciated this history. These always look so 70s-80s in design to me that they do not appeal. However, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's MR20 Bauhaus chair is gorgeous (despite the shortcomings mentioned in the video). But maybe it's just me.

I've seen this chair exactly once in real life- I was cleaning out a Freind's house and saw it in the corner and asked "could I have it?". He said "hehe yeah" and pulled off the sheet of cardboard that was on top of it revealing a massive gaping hole in the seat about the size of a record. It's probably still down there...
