History: This type of chairs was produced by Gavina after Dino Gavina met Marcel Breuer in 1962 and convinced him to produce the Cesca chairs again. Breuer eventually sold his collection of furniture to the Italian design company Gavina Spa. It was largely the Breuer collection that motivated Knoll who acquired Gavina in 1968, after its failure. Dino Gavina is better known for having founded Gavina Spa, an Italian furniture production company founded to produce the work of designer of the flourishing Italian design scene of the 1950s and 1960s. Gavina was one of the first producers of works of many influential Italian modernists, including the brothers Castiglioni, Carlo and Tobia Scarpa, Cini Boeri, Roberto Sebastian Matta, Vico Magistretti and Mario Bellini. Interested in the portfolio of projects and production systems of Gavina, Knoll purchased the company in 1968.
