Stirling HDB Terrace- #6 Dining Chairs

Louis Ghost Armchair
see this picture on the left? creepy huh.
that's why it's named as "Ghost" chair, because it blends into the surrounding and sometimes, it looks as if it wasn't there but yet there it is!

WJ and i have been in love with this chair for some time now, and now that we finally have a home to decorate, it is time to buy the furniture that we always wanted!!!

FORTUNATE TIMING
As SPACE was having a really good sale, we bought 4 Louis Ghost chairs on the very last day of the sale! We got 40% off the original price!!! So we were really elated with our buys. Actually after much discussion, we wanted to get the Victoria chairs instead as it was cheaper than the Louis chairs. But with the sale, it made things alot easier now, and we decided to go for the Louis chairs where there are armrests which wj thought it much more comfortable for guests.

Enough about our buys...
Here's some quick facts on this quirky polycarbonate chair:
Designer:Philippe Starck (whose works includes the infamous juicer, one of my first collection of starck's works!)
Reinventing the classic Louis XV armchair for Kartell, the playful Louis Ghost Armchair (2002) is a postmodern triumph of technical innovation and historical style. Translating the varied lines and formal geometry of its predecessor into a single form of translucent or opaque black or white injection-molded polycarbonate, it is a robust chair with not a single weak point. A generously sized seat and medallion backrest offer leisurely comfort, as do the subtly curved armrests. Resistant to scratches and weather conditions, it is suitable for indoor and outdoor use. Stacks six high.

Manufactured in Italy by Kartell.

Kartell has a flagship store in centrepoint and is solely distributed at SPACE furniture too. :)


see! it even looks good as a study chair!!! hahaha...if only i have more cash, i would love to have one for my study and decorate it with a feather boa cushion or a floral cushion like this one above! SO sweet!

more photos of how camouflage this chair can be.
