Designed by Austrian designer Robert Stadler, this high-end Marceau rattan chair embodies a bold vision of bespoke design, where transformation, color, and detail become a language.
Marceau is not just a new chair in the Maison Drucker collection: it is a statement piece, conceived to evolve, surprise, and assert a strong identity—remaining true to the Maison’s heritage while opening up new contemporary perspectives.
A designer known for his conceptual approach and his taste for objects with dual meanings, Robert Stadler has, since the 1990s, developed a body of work in which function dialogues with strangeness. As co-founder of the RADI Designers collective, he quickly began exploring the boundaries between the ordinary and the unexpected, questioning the perception, role, and symbolism of everyday objects.
His creations—both rigorous and offbeat—play with expectations while never sacrificing functional accuracy.
The collaboration with Maison Louis Drucker naturally fits within this approach. Built on demanding artisanal craftsmanship, the Maison has cultivated for over a century a close relationship between tradition and creative freedom. With the Marceau rattan chair, Robert Stadler finds an ideal field of expression: a house capable of translating a strong idea into a lasting object.
From this collaboration emerges a rattan chair that goes beyond the simple status of seating to become a true design piece, where every detail matters.
The Marceau rattan chair pays tribute to the famous mime Marcel Marceau, an iconic figure of transformation and silent expression. Like the artist, capable of changing character with a simple gesture, the chair imagined by Robert Stadler transforms itself as well.
Its signature lies in a system of interchangeable backrests. Round, oval, or butterfly-shaped, these backrests reinterpret Maison Louis Drucker’s iconic medallions while bringing a graphic and contemporary dimension. Each shape alters the chair’s silhouette, its visual rhythm, and its character.
Marceau thus becomes an evolving rattan chair, capable of adopting multiple expressions depending on desires, spaces, or projects—a playful yet refined creation, conceived as a subtle interplay between design, emotion, and functionality.
Behind this formal freedom lies a rigorous construction, faithful to Maison Louis Drucker’s standards. The Marceau chair is designed for both outdoor and indoor use, without compromising durability.
Its aluminum structure, combined with a teak frame, ensures long-term resistance. The synthetic fiber weaving, crafted according to Maison Louis Drucker’s standards, provides comfort, strength, and ease of maintenance. The result is a chair that is robust, lightweight, and stackable—designed to elegantly furnish living spaces.
Café terraces, private gardens, hotels, or residential spaces: the Marceau chair naturally integrates into a variety of environments, asserting its character without ever imposing itself.
Like all Maison Louis Drucker creations, the Marceau chair is fully customizable. Backrests, seats, and structures become means of expression, thanks to a rich and refined color palette.
Each project involves precise choices: a dominant color that structures the whole, subtle or bold contrasts, and graphic combinations that highlight the chair’s silhouette. Here, the weaving becomes a true extension of the creative gesture, revealing the personality of each piece.
Architects, interior designers, and private clients alike will find in Marceau a bespoke rattan chair capable of adapting to their world, while retaining the distinctive imprint of Maison Louis Drucker. A unique piece, crafted on demand, where contemporary design dialogues with artisanal heritage.
With the Marceau rattan chair, Robert Stadler and Maison Louis Drucker present an inventive and modular creation—a bespoke rattan chair that celebrates transformation, color, and craftsmanship excellence, once again affirming the Maison’s ability to make furniture a vibrant and inspiring field of creation.
