Cesare 1616 Technorattan Stacking Chair

A café chair built for daily service on terraces and in dining rooms, where it must be moved, stacked and left in all weathers without losing its shape or finish. The seat and back are woven from technorattan, a synthetic fibre that mimics the look of natural rattan while resisting moisture, UV light and temperature swings. The weave is not merely decorative: it forms a continuous lattice that spreads the sitter's weight across the entire surface, reducing pressure points and increasing the chair's load-bearing capacity. Because the fibre does not absorb water, the chair dries quickly after rain and does not swell or crack. An aluminium frame carries the weave. Aluminium is chosen for its strength-to-weight ratio: it holds the shape of the chair under repeated use yet remains light enough to be lifted with one hand. The metal is anodised to prevent corrosion, so the frame keeps its appearance even when exposed to salt air, cleaning chemicals or spilled drinks. The chair arrives fully assembled. When not in use, up to twelve chairs can be stacked vertically, one on top of the other, to free floor space. The stack remains stable because the legs and backrests align precisely, and the low weight prevents the base from toppling. To use, place the chair on a level surface. The 580 mm seat width gives enough room for most diners without crowding adjacent tables. The 830 mm overall height allows clearance under standard worktops and bars. When the service period ends, chairs can be stacked and wheeled away on a trolley or carried by hand. The frame and weave are made from technorattan and aluminium. No other materials are specified. The chair is offered in four colours: black, red, grey and beige. Each colour is a separate model number, so the choice is made at the time of ordering. The chair weighs 3.8 kg, which determines how many can be carried at once and how high they can be stacked safely. Its footprint of 580 mm by 620 mm shows the floor area each chair occupies when in use. The technorattan weave sheds crumbs and spills as soon as you lift the chair, so wiping the seat with a damp cloth restores its café-fresh look without scrubbing. The technorattan weave can be wiped with a damp cloth and mild detergent; abrasive pads or solvents are not recommended. The aluminium frame may be cleaned with the same solution, avoiding steel wool or wire brushes that could scratch the anodised finish. After cleaning, the chair should be left to dry completely before stacking to prevent trapped moisture from corroding the frame over time. The catalogue places the Cesare 1616 in the outdoor and contract seating section, alongside other stackable chairs designed for commercial use.
