Louis Ghost Chair

Designed by Philippe Starck

Louis Ghost is the world’s bravest example of the injection of polycarbonate in a single mould. A chair inspired by the Louis XV chair, the baroque ideotype, reinterpreted by Philippe Starck to amaze, inspire and beguile. Despite its evanescent and crystalline image, Louis Ghost is stable and strong, collision-proof and capable of withstanding the effects of the weather; and it can be stacked in piles of up to six. A very charismatic product with enormous aesthetic appeal, perfect for every setting, be it domestic or professional.

NEW SUSTAINABLE MATERIAL

This products is now manufactured using a new polycarbonate 2.0, a material that uses a renewable raw material from the pulp and paper industry in the synthesis phase. The process used for the production of the material is ISCC certified (International Sustainability and Carbon Certification)

▼ What is the significance of the Louis Ghost Chair by Philippe Starck?

The Louis Ghost Chair by Philippe Starck is a revolutionary design that perfectly blends the opulence of the Louis XV baroque style with modern minimalism. Crafted from a single injection-moulded polycarbonate, the design encapsulates innovation in both design and material technology.

The silhouette is ethereal due to transparency, with a design that is both iconic and timeless. Still, the Philippe Starck Ghost Chair offers more than simple aesthetic appeal; it provides functional versatility that is suitable for residential and commercial settings alike.

▼ How can you tell if a Ghost Chair is real?

An authentic Philippe Starck Louis Ghost Chair by Kartell includes several identifying elements. Genuine chairs can be verified from the embossed Kartell stamp of authenticity found under the polycarbonate shell.

The precise

▼ Why is it called a Ghost Chair?

The Louis Ghost Chair is named for its iconic transparent, almost invisible appearance, enabling each piece to blend seamlessly into any environment. This unique “ghost-like” design lends unique appeal to the chair, as it appears to take up less visual space to leave every room feeling open and airy.

▼ Do Ghost Chairs scratch easily?

While the polycarbonate material used in Ghost Chairs is highly durable, it is still susceptible to scratches with regular use. Maintain its clarity and finish by handling it with care, avoiding rough, abrasive materials that might lead to scratching.

▼ Is the Ghost Chair comfortable?

Yes, despite its minimalist and transparent appearance, the Louis Ghost Chair is crafted with ergonomic considerations. Its wide seat, slightly curved backrest, and quality construction ensure every use feels supported and comfortable—even for prolonged seating.
