Product Insights
The Lounger Rattan Back Rest Beach Chair from Basil Bangs ($349, in stock) combines Breuer's Cesca silhouette with Scandinavian minimalism in a lightweight, portable chair that unfolds to 41x19x16 inches and folds compactly. Its open weave rattan backrest provides cool airflow and contours to the spine, but requires periodic oiling and dry storage to retain shape; the 19-inch wide lightly padded acrylic seat breathes and resists UV with covered storage. Three fixed recline positions keep the chair lightweight and compact, while polished stainless steel and resin parts resist rust. The sustainably sourced rattan backrest is fast-growing and biodegradable, supporting forest livelihoods.
- Design heritage
Design combines Breuer's Cesca silhouette with Scandinavian minimalism.
Why this is supported
The chair’s curved rattan backrest directly echoes the silhouette of Breuer’s 1928 Cesca chair—the first mass-produced caned-seat tubular-steel chair, per Wikipedia:
It consists of a tubular steel frame and a rattan seat and backing, and was the first such tubular-steel-frame, caned-seat chair to be mass-produced.
en.wikipedia.org—while the brand’s description explicitly layers on Scandinavian minimalism:
drawing inspiration from the classic Breuer rattan style and the clean, functional appeal of Scandinavian design.
basilbangs.usThe exposed rattan and oak joinery, paired with stainless steel hardware, embodies the Bauhaus principle of material honesty, as Knoll describes:
Breuer was a student and subsequently a master carpenter at the Bauhaus in the early 1920s. His entire body of work, both architecture and furniture, embodies the driving Bauhaus objective to reconcile art and industry.

Why this is supported
