Borin in Vienna he studied design at the Istituto Europeo di Design in Milan, then at ENSCI / Les Ateliers in Paris. In 1992 he cofounded the RADI DESIGNERS group and since 2000 he has been working solo. Besides his practical activities, Robert Stadler regularely devotes time to teaching. In 2009 he is a guest professor at the HFBK in Hamburg.
Robert Stadler intervenes in very diverse fields, obliterating all
hierarchies between free proposals, industrial and public commissions.
He explores the exhibition space in order to scramble the usual
categories of art and design. He questions the status of the object as
work of art or product as well as the border between preciousness and
lowliness, elegance and vulgarity, the serious and the absurd.
Questioning the object's identity or even provoking their dissolution,
are fields of interest crossing most of his projects.
His work is present in several private and public collections such as Fondation Cartier, FNAC, FRAC Nord-Pas de Calais.
He works for clients such as Académie des César, Costes group, Dior, Orange, Ricard and Take 5 Editions.
He is represented by Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin in Paris and Carpenters Workshop gallery in London.
