The Louis Ghost chair, commonly referred to as the ghost chair, was invented by renowned French designer Philippe Starck in 2002. He designed it for the Italian furniture manufacturer Kartell.
Starck's design is a modern take on the classic Louis XVI style chair, but instead of traditional materials like wood and upholstery, he used clear polycarbonate to create a transparent and lightweight chair. This innovative use of material gave the chair its signature "ghostly" appearance, hence its name.
The Ghost chair quickly gained popularity for its unique design, versatility, and affordability. It has become a staple in contemporary interiors, often seen in homes, restaurants, and offices worldwide.
