「Origin & Story」

    This "Louis Ghost Chair", as its name suggests, is indeed closely related to King Louis XVI of France. The 19-year-old monarch and his partner, Marie Antoinette, were very interested in ancient Greek and Roman design, so during their reign, they vigorously promoted a variety of the most fashionable architectural and interior design elements. Among them, there is a special chair, which not only has a round back, clean lines, and columnar carved legs, but also has lasting power, and finally won the favor of the monarch. It is also known as the "Louis XVI Chair". Today, it is still a generation of classic chair design.

  While many designers have tried to reinterpret "The Louis XVI chair" in the past, mostly with small changes to the trim and colour, in the 1970s Philippe Starck, then a school dropout, had more ideas. Philippe Starck started out creating interiors for Parisian nightclubs, using a transparent plastic called "Lucite" as furniture and decorations all the rage. Such reckless and subversive performance made him one of the most acclaimed French designers of his time, and the "Ghost Chair" was an excellent example of this style.

  Philippe Starck's daring 'tampering' with royalty looks crazy, but it works brilliantly. In 2002, Philippe Starck reinterpreted the classic "Louis XVI armchair" for Kartell, an Italian design company known for its innovative plastics, preserving the silhouette of the old piece of furniture and turning it into a single chair in clear plastic, not only echoing the The ideal of Louis XVI, but also the geometry of ancient Greece, as Philippe Starck himself said: "This chair has a hybrid style founded on a common memory, so each of us has this piece in some way. ”

「classic and innovative」

  The combination of the classic shape and modern transparent materials of the ghost chair makes it suitable for any design style, just like the crystal pyramid in front of the Louvre, which tells the history and also shines the light of this era.

  In modern times, more ghost chairs of different styles have entered our lives, and the application of ghost chairs has become more and more extensive, frequently appearing in hotel banquets, wedding venues, party restaurants and other scenes.

  Our factory produced a new ghost chair, which is properly processed on the original basis of the chair, which not only maintains the classic design style of the ghost chair, but also brings a fresh and bright experience.
