Icon-Icon Opinion :
In 2002, Starck created the icon that is now called a Ghost chair, based on the design of a Louis XV style armchair. This is a meeting between the plastic, simplified present and, at the same time, the baroque past of design!
Name of the product : Victoria Ghost
Designer : Philippe Starck
Description : A chair with classic line, it has a rounded back which recalls the shape of antique medallions, while the seat is linear and geometric. Victoria Ghost is available in clear or coloured polycarbonate and is made in a single injection mould. It is stable and strong, collision-proof and capable of withstanding the effects of the weather. A very charismatic product with a personality all of its own, the perfectly elegant and versatile addition to any setting.
Materials : Polycarbonate
