Key takeaways

  • Part of our furniture is available in stock, with no wait for fabrication.
  • These are the same catalog models, woven by hand: stock does not shorten the work, it does it in advance. Made-to-order remains the signature of the house; ready-to-wear is there to be of service.
  • Availability is read configuration by configuration — one model may be available in one weave and not in another. The product page says which.
  • Stock suits an opening that is close, a replacement in mid-season, or an addition to a terrace already furnished.
  • Made-to-order takes 4 to 15 weeks: it remains necessary as soon as a specific color, weave or dimension is required. It answers a demand for exclusivity, creativity and luxury. The client chooses the shape of the piece, its colors, its weave.
In this article

Part of our catalog is already woven by hand and available to order, without going through made-to-order lead times.

A restaurateur opening in a few weeks often assumes a Maison Louis Drucker chair means months of waiting. Made-to-order is indeed how the house works, and that is normal: a hand-woven seat takes 3 to 30 hours of work. Part of the catalog is there to be of service: the Ready-to-Wear offer, pieces already made, in catalog configurations, available to order.

What "In Stock" Means at Maison Louis Drucker

These are finished pieces, in defined configurations: one model, one weave, one color. They are made in the same ateliers as made-to-order work, with the same components and the same gestures — European fiber, French nailing, Italian varnish, every strand set by hand. Design and maintenance are handled entirely in France; fabrication takes place in France or in Indonesia, the home of rattan.

This is not a separate range, and not a lesser one. It is the same work by hand, simply available sooner.

Availability Is Read Configuration by Configuration

A model is not available as a block. It is available in certain weaves and certain colors. The Le Fouquet's chair, for instance, exists in some thirty weaves: some are available right away, others are made to order. The offer varies with the stock available.

The product page shows the availability of each configuration at the moment you look at it. That is the only up-to-date source, and it is why we publish no list of quantities: stock moves.

Stock suits an opening that is close, the replacement of a few seats in mid-season, an addition to a terrace already furnished, or a trial before a larger order. Made-to-order is the answer as soon as a property has a color identity to hold, a particular weave to obtain, or a series to produce. The two combine well: a dining room made to order, a terrace completed from stock.

How to Order

Available pieces are ordered directly on the site, one piece or several: there is no minimum order, and we sell to private customers as well as to the trade. For a contract project — volumes, quotes, advice on weaves and colors — write to us through the trade page: we answer with the configurations actually available at the time of your request.

To see a model before ordering, the 3D configurator lets you compose a seat and view it in three dimensions. And to prepare a full project, our guide to specifying rattan seating sets out what to check before ordering.
