Paris has just opened a new address that is already making waves: Le Grand Café Paris. Nestled in the prestigious setting of the Grand Palais, this restaurant in the Grand Palais couldn't afford a single misstep in terms of decor. When you set up shop in a historic monument facing the Champs-Élysées, every detail matters. And speaking of details! Because behind the unique atmosphere of this place lies a meticulous selection of furniture. On the terrace, which offers that breathtaking view between the Champs-Élysées and the Petit Palais, you'll discover armchairs that seem to have always been there. Rattan armchairs with such a Parisian style that they appear obvious, but which are actually the result of a very precise selection. Architect Joseph Dirand, tasked with bringing this space to life, made a bold choice: to rely on French savoir-faire by selecting Maison Louis Drucker to furnish this already legendary venue. A choice that speaks volumes about the trust placed in this century-old manufacturer and the sure instinct of the one who designed this decor. Joseph Dirand, the architect needed for Le Grand Café Le Grand Café Paris has quickly become one of the capital's most sought-after spots. This Grand Palais restaurant has already gained an excellent image and notoriety, and for good reason: its exceptional setting in the heart of a historic monument attracts tourists and Parisians alike, all seeking a unique experience. Behind this success lies the talent of Joseph Dirand, the interior architect who designed this space. Trained at the Beaux-Arts de Paris, then working for Christian Liaigre's agency, he has developed his own unique style over the years: one that blends the old and the contemporary without ever forcing the issue. His specialty? Transforming places steeped in history into lively and welcoming spaces. An approach that was perfect for arranging a space in the heart of the Grand Palais! For this project, the interior architect wanted to create a place where everyone would feel comfortable, a place of passage as much as a destination. When seeking to create this very particular atmosphere that mixes history and modernity, furniture then becomes one of the first details not to be overlooked. The rattan armchair from Maison Louis Drucker is precisely this clever blend of French tradition and timeless elegance. The Haussmann armchair, a rattan armchair that refuses to age   When it comes to exceptional rattan furniture, the Haussmann armchair by Maison Louis Drucker is an absolute benchmark. This model, born in the manufacturer's workshops at the beginning of the 20th century, takes its name from the famous baron who redesigned Paris. A nod that is no coincidence: like the grand Parisian boulevards, this armchair transcends eras without ever going out of style. What gives it its charm? First, its perfectly balanced proportions. Neither too imposing nor too discreet, it finds its place equally well on a bistro terrace or in a bourgeois living room. Its robust but lightweight Manila rattan structure allows it to be easily moved while guaranteeing remarkable longevity. For Le Grand Café, Joseph Dirand opted for a very specific version: an olive green one with a flounce. This small decorative band that surrounds the seat is the model's signature! It adds that touch of sophistication that makes all the difference. The olive green, for its part, was a clever choice: neutral enough to harmonize with the architecture of the Grand Palais, yet distinctive enough to give character to the ensemble. The result? These rattan armchairs instantly create that quintessential Parisian atmosphere associated with café terraces. They tell a story, one of a French art of living that never goes out of style. How to successfully decorate a place like this? Since its recent opening, Le Grand Café Paris has been making headlines. This brand new restaurant in the Grand Palais is already attracting the attention of specialized media like AD Magazine and is a hit on Instagram! On the 75-meter-long terrace, our Haussmann armchairs integrate perfectly into this exceptional setting. Joseph Dirand trusted us to create custom-made rattan furniture, adapted to the very specific constraints of the location: maintaining that characteristic Parisian elegance while meeting the demands of intensive use. The technical challenge was real. How to furnish a terrace of this size with rattan armchairs that retain their appearance despite intensive use? Our solution: adapt our classic Haussmann model with an olive green finish specially chosen to harmonize with the lush vegetation of landscape designer Thierry Boutemy. The choice of the flounce was also not insignificant. This signature detail of the Haussmann model creates a subtle reminder of the moldings and ornaments of the Grand Palais, proving that well-designed custom furniture can further enhance the experience of a place, even the most prestigious. For this type of semi-outdoor installation, the Haussmann armchair with a rattan frame and custom weaving was the ideal choice: it retains the authenticity of the natural material while benefiting from the resistance of our fibers specially designed for professional use.

The story of Maison Louis Drucker has been written for over a century to the rhythm of rattan, weaving, and an iconic French craftsmanship. Today, a new chapter begins—bolder, more expressive, and more personal than ever.

After a widely noted first participation, Maison Louis Drucker returns this year from January 15 to 19, 2026, with a renewed desire to share its universe, its creations, and its craftsmanship, in a place where the precision of the hand meets creative boldness. Maison & Objet, when Paris celebrates the art of living and contemporary creation Founded in 1995, Maison & Objet Paris has established itself over the years as one of the leading international events for decoration, design, and the art of living. Twice a year, the show brings together in Paris the most inspiring players in the industry: historic houses, contemporary editors, emerging designers, and established talents from around the world. With several tens of thousands of professional visitors at each edition, it serves as a true barometer of trends and craftsmanship. Throughout the aisles of the show, materials, colors, and forms tell singular stories, carried by houses that cultivate excellence and innovation. Some of the greatest names in decoration have written their finest chapters there, making Maison & Objet a place of encounters, influences, and transmission. It is within this demanding and inspiring setting that Maison Louis Drucker naturally finds its place. The Maison shares a vision of furniture in which emotion is born from detail, where each creation is designed to stand the test of time while never renouncing its modernity. Weaving as a heritage, innovation as a horizon For more than a century, Maison Drucker has upheld a unique craftsmanship, passed down from generation to generation. In its workshops, hand weaving remains at the heart of the creative process: a precise, patient, almost meditative gesture that gives rise to pieces instantly recognizable. Certified as an Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (Living Heritage Company), the Maison Louis Drucker has nevertheless never ceased to reinvent itself. Alongside its iconic models, it explores new paths, develops structures suited to contemporary uses, and pushes the boundaries of bespoke design. This subtle alliance between tradition and innovation lies at the very soul of Maison Louis Drucker: a house deeply rooted in its history, yet resolutely turned toward the future. Colors, shapes, and exclusive creations: the Maison Drucker spirit in the spotlight At Maison & Objet Paris, Maison Louis Drucker unveils a selection of creations in which color becomes a signature. From bold combinations to more delicate palettes, each piece on display reflects the freedom granted to clients in their chromatic choices. A dominant color guides the eye, sometimes enlivened by brighter accents, sometimes softened by subtle nuances: here, color work emerges as a natural extension of weaving. Forms interact with light, structures trace elegant lines, designed for both interior spaces and terraces and gardens. Some of the pieces presented at the show were created especially for the occasion, illustrating Maison Drucker’s ability to design exclusive, fully bespoke models, true to the vision and identity of each project. Among them : The Doisy headboard stands out for its enveloping lines and refined palette, bringing a warm presence to any hotel bedroom or contemporary interior. The Parnasse chair, with its structured silhouette and hypnotic interplay of colors, embodies a graphic elegance that resonates with the most sophisticated living spaces. As for the Tuileries chair, it is distinguished by its balanced proportions and openwork backrest, the model’s signature feature. Designed to be as elegant as it is functional, it naturally finds its place in terraces, cafés, and reception areas. A place for encounters and inspiration at the heart of the show Maison & Objet is, above all, a place for exchange.
