Some pieces tell a story even before you sit down. With the "Marceau" rattan chair, Maison Louis Drucker unveils a singular creation, at the intersection of design, art, and exceptional furniture.
Designed by Austrian designer Robert Stadler, this high-end rattan chair embodies a bold vision of custom-made, where transformation, color, and detail become a language.
Marceau is not just a new chair in Maison Drucker's collection: it is a statement piece, designed to evolve, surprise, and assert a strong identity, faithful to the Maison's heritage while opening up new contemporary perspectives.
A Creative Encounter Between Robert Stadler and Maison Louis Drucker
A designer known for his conceptual approach and his penchant for objects with double meanings, Robert Stadler has been developing since the 1990s a body of work where use dialogues with strangeness. Co-founder of the RADI Designers collective, he explored early on the boundaries between the ordinary and the unexpected, questioning the perception, role, and symbolism of everyday objects. His creations, both rigorous and unconventional, play with expectations without ever sacrificing functional accuracy.
The encounter with Maison Louis Drucker naturally fits into this approach. Built on demanding artisanal know-how, Maison Louis Drucker has cultivated a close relationship between tradition and creative freedom for over a century. With the Marceau rattan chair, Robert Stadler found an ideal field of expression: that of a house capable of translating a strong idea into a durable object.
This collaboration gave birth to a rattan chair that transcends the simple status of a seat to become a design piece in its own right, where every detail matters.
Marceau: A Rattan Chair with Many Faces
The Marceau rattan chair pays tribute to the famous mime Marcel Marceau, an emblematic figure of metamorphosis and silent expression. Like this artist capable of changing character with a simple gesture, the chair designed by Robert Stadler also transforms.
Its signature lies in a system of interchangeable backrests. Round, oval, or butterfly-shaped, these backrests reinterpret Maison Louis Drucker's iconic medallions, bringing them a graphic and contemporary dimension. Each shape modifies the chair's silhouette, its visual rhythm, and its character.
Marceau thus becomes an evolving rattan chair, capable of adopting multiple expressions according to desires, spaces, or projects. A playful and refined creation, conceived as a subtle interplay between design, emotion, and functionality.

Behind this formal freedom lies a rigorous design, faithful to the demands of Maison Louis Drucker. The Marceau chair is designed for both outdoor and indoor use, without compromising on durability.
Its aluminum structure, combined with a teak frame, guarantees its resistance over time. The synthetic fiber weaving, crafted according to Maison Louis Drucker's standards, ensures comfort, hold, and ease of maintenance. The ensemble gives birth to a chair that is both robust, lightweight, and stackable, designed to elegantly furnish living spaces.
Café terraces, private gardens, hotels or residential spaces: the Marceau chair integrates naturally into varied environments, asserting its character without ever imposing itself.
Color and Customization as the Signature of the Marceau Rattan Chair
Like all of Maison Louis Drucker's creations, the Marceau chair is offered entirely custom-made. The backrests, seats, and structures become canvases for expression, thanks to a rich and controlled color palette .
Each project involves a precise choice: a dominant color that structures the whole, subtle or assertive contrasts, graphic associations that highlight the chair's silhouette. The weaving here becomes a true extension of the creative gesture, revealing the personality of each creation.
Architects, decorators, and individuals will find in Marceau a custom rattan chair capable of adapting to their universe, while retaining the unique imprint of Maison Louis Drucker. A unique piece, made to order, where contemporary design dialogues with artisanal heritage.
With the Marceau rattan chair, Robert Stadler and Maison Louis Drucker have created an inventive and modular design. A custom rattan chair that celebrates transformation, color, and the excellence of craftsmanship, and which once again affirms the Maison's ability to make furniture a vibrant and inspiring creative field.
