The Philippe Starck Ghost Chair is Not Scary at All!
The Ghost Chair
Ghost chairs are an ideal piece of furniture if you want a stylish accessory for a small living space. They are transparent, allowing the light to flow through them and so you can add style without appearing to clutter your space. They are also stackable - so they fit the bill of two of my top tips for decorating small spaces! Designed by Philippe Starck, the Kartell Louis Ghost Chair works well in a number of situations. Whether you are looking for a contemporary dining chair, an accent chair, a chair to use to sit in front of your French style dresser or you want a piece that will stand out in a commercial setting, this chair is a versatile choice. Oh and I almost forgot, this chair is also suitable for outdoor use - phew!
These chairs are baroque in style, obviously reminiscent of the Louis XVI era, but Starck 's use of modern materials has made the Ghost chair a modern classic. I love the options this chair presents from a design perspective. Used in an ultra cool, modern space the materials fit but the design itself makes a statement. Reverse the scenario and include the chair in a more traditional setting and the design may compliment the other pieces chosen with the materials making the statement. This piece can both compliment and contrast at the same time and it is not often we can say that about a piece of furniture.
Although they may appear delicate given the transparency of the materials used, they are quite sturdy. On a practical level these chairs are shock, scratch and weather resistant. Ghost Chairs are available in a number of transparent colors and a couple of opaques. You will find more information about ghost chair prices here.

The Lou Lou Ghost Chair
For the Little Style Gurus in Your Life!

Kartell Barbie Lou Lou Ghost Chair (Kid Sized)
The Lou Lou Ghost Chair was designed by Phillippe Starck and it is effectively the pint sized version of his contemporary classic Ghost Chair. The Barbie Lou Lou Ghost Chair pictured above was designed to mark the 60th anniversary of Kartell and the 50th birthday of the iconic Barbie doll. If your little girl has a sense of style beyond her age or indeed if you would like to develop her appreciation of design, this chair will fit the bill. There is a grown up version of the Barbie edition chair available, so if some mom and daughter bonding time is in order you might want a matching set. Now please, please do not make this chair the naughty chair, in your home!
This baby Ghost Chair maintains all the design elements of its more grown up version and it is also durable, easy to clean and scratch resistant. The Lou Lou Ghost Chair is also available in a clear transparent version.

The Victoria Ghost Chair

Kartell Victoria Ghost Chair
The Victoria Ghost Chair was added to the collection by Starck in 2005.This elegantly comfortable chair mirrors the design of the original but gives the freedom of an armless chair.

The Victoria Ghost Chair is available in a number of colors.

- Have you seen some really colorful ghost chairs around? Like bright pink, red or lime green or something like that? Plain transparent chairs might be little dull for some people. Great lens anyway. Thanks!
