Assembling process is very complex. You have to associate a natural material that is very difficult to weave with the assembling techniques in order to have a final product, which can last a great number of years in a very demanding universe. The rattan is a material that can’t be worked by any other method than the artisan one.
After having respected specifications of an extreme precision for the preparation of the components (shapes, crosses, weavings etc…), the production team assembles all the different components. This requires a certain experience and a great accuracy, which comes along after a long period of training. The weaving comes just before a very rigorous finish.
To assemble its chairs, Drucker mainly uses two materials:
The rattan grows in the shadow of the trees in the wet grounds of the tropical forests in countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, and like for the wood, there are different colours, different dimensions and different qualities of rattan. During the XVI th century, some Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch and English navigators went to explore Islands still unknown at that time. Their main aim was to bring back spices. They noticed very quickly that used a lot of liana to make cables for their boats ….
Why do we use rattan? The rattan is the only material that is used without any transformation. It is a vegetal which auto protects it to be ale to grow under very aggressive tropical climates because of its humidity. This is why it can be worked easily when it is warmed up in a humid atmosphere. Moreover, it is very light and very resistant.
Rilsan is made from Castor-oil plant seeds. The oil obtained by the pressing of the seeds has to pass through different operations to succeed in a making a Polyamid named “Polyamid 11”

The rilsan is remarquable by many points :
- Its sustainable flexibility : rilsan doesn’t loose its elasticity even after a couple of years of intensive use.
- It also has a wonderful resistance against the bad weather: it can resist to the rain, to the salt and even
   to the snow.
- It also has a wonderful resistance to the UV and the sun as well as to the insects, molds
- It can also work in temperatures going from –50 degrees to 70 degrees.
- It is always clean and doesn’t require much maintenance. Soapy water is enough to wash the Rilsan

Finally it is a component 100% French.
Drucker makes to measure most of its metallic components including nails etc..
The metallic structures are made of aluminium or steel covered with Zinc before they receive a epoxy cover.
Almost all the products with a structure made of rattan are made around a frame made by carpenters particularly skilled.
These frames are very strong. Drucker uses more or less 20 different models of frames
They are made from beech or best exotic woods depending on its use.
