So what are the different uses for rattan high chairs? Maison Louis Drucker gives you some practical ideas.
What is a rattan high chair?
La rattan high chair is furniture made from a natural material called rattan or rotang, a fibrous vine that grows mainly in the tropical jungles of Southeast Asia, Indonesia to be precise. A high chair is also distinguished from a conventional chair by its significantly higher seat height. The seat height of a standard chair is around 45 cm, while that of a high chair can vary between 60 and 80 cm, and even up to 120 cm for certain models. This height can be adapted to suit the intended installation.
Versatile, it will fit perfectly into many spaces:
- Kitchens with central island
- Counters and bars
- Cafés and restaurants
- Terraces and outdoor spaces
- High dining tables
- Coworking spaces
The different types of rattan high chairs
The rattan high chair is characterized by its considerable height (generally between 70 and 80 cm) and the presence of a backrest, unlike a simple bar stool. This backrest, woven with a pattern colors and cane patterns that can be chosen to suit individual tastesnot only provides comfortable support, but is also an aesthetic element that can be customized to suit the decor of the space.
These rattan high chairs are particularly popular in bars and restaurants, as they offer a good balance between comfort and style. The woven backrest can be produced in a variety of colors and weaves, creating a unique ambience in harmony with the rest of the decor.
The high rattan bar stool
Le high rattan bar stool is a seat model without backrest or armrests. More minimalist than the high chair, it consists solely of a rattan structure and a woven seat, also woven in your colors and according to your choice of cane. Its height can vary according to your needs:
- 60-65 cm: ideal for kitchen islands around 90 cm high
- 75-80 cm: perfect for high tables, standing tables, counters and standard bars
These chairs are particularly popular in tight spaces such as bars, as they can slide completely under the counter when not in use, freeing up space.
The rattan highchair
Specially designed for the little ones, the children’s high chair is equipped with a safety bar and sometimes a removable tray. This model is particularly sought-after by restaurateurs, who can welcome families and parents who wish to integrate a piece that is both essential and designer into their interior.

The rattan kitchen high chair
The rattan kitchen high chair is slightly lower than the bar models (approx. 65-70 cm) and fits perfectly with modern kitchen islands. Here, too, you can choose your own color and cane design. Its design is often more streamlined to blend harmoniously into the family space. In the kitchen, it combines functionality and aesthetics, offering practical seating space for quick meals or to keep the chef company while cooking.
