Outside
the Box
Mader is not just about furniture. it’s about breaking boundaries, thinking beyond the ordinary, and redefining what’s possible.

Every design, every build, and every detail carries a piece of that journey—one of pushing limits and never settling for less.
Mader pieces are symbols of hard work, determination, and vision. When you bring a Mader creation into your space, you bring a reminder to stay committed, think differently, and always build outside the box.

Design-The Art of Bold Simplicity
Design can be intimidating, but for me, it’s the freedom to create something unique—challenging my mind to shape the new and unexpected. It’s a journey of tough decisions, finding the perfect balance between simplicity and complexity.
Mader is a reflection of my vision, defined by strong, clear lines—clean and effortless at first glance, yet rich with hidden depth and intricacy. My designs are timeless, standing out not because they demand attention, but because they command it. Each piece is a statement of bold simplicity, crafted with passion, dedication, and the belief that great design lasts forever.

Behind the Brand
I’m Marcel Bader, born and raised on a farm near Windhoek, Namibia. From a young age, I spent hours in the workshop with my dad, fixing and creating—finding deep satisfaction in working with my hands. I’ve always been driven by the challenge of designing and building something unique, constantly thinking about new ideas and ways to improve construction.
In 2018, I moved to Northern Germany to begin my journey as a joiner, completing my apprenticeship before working near Munich for two years. At the end of 2024, I earned my “Meister” certification, marking a major step in my craft.
For me, woodworking isn’t just a job—it’s a passion and a lifelong pursuit of creating something greater. Mader is a reflection of that journey, built with dedication, precision, and a vision to push beyond the ordinary.
