Philip Starck designed the Ghost chair, he was quite smart, he took an existing design with existing associations. Not just any associations, but those who connect to a king, the Sun King Louis XIV. Immediately the impact of a plastic chair changed instantly. The design of the chair and the history that it carries is directly connected with ROYALTY...
The chair comes in all kinds of fun colors, sunset orange, stroke yellow, smoke grey and even glossy black. One of the chairs characteristics is their transparency... it makes them weightless as if floating in air... but with the glossy black version this dissapears... I think the designer went a bit too far with making the latest versions of the Ghost Chair with barbie, bear and chinese checker prints...
I wonder how Louis XIV would think of these versions of his royal armchair, I dont think he would appreciate it...
What I appreciate, is that there alos is a kids version and its adorable...
