Our journey as The Thrifty Duo began with a passion for mid-century furniture and a dream to create something special. We fell in love with the Cesca chair, designed by Marcel Breuer in 1928, known for its modernist principles and classic craftsmanship. This iconic chair features a cantilevered tubular steel frame and woven cane seat and backrest, striking a perfect balance of durability and elegance. However, the South African demand far exceeded the accessible supply. We saw an opportunity to make this chair more accessible to the South African market. With a commitment to quality, we learned to build what we could in-house and partnered with manufacturers for the components we couldn’t produce ourselves. After many trials and errors, we are thrilled to introduce The Thrifty Duo's Cesca Inspired Dining Chair.
