GHOST

“The Louis Ghost chair designed itself, 20 years ago" tells us Philippe Starck, the designer who linked his name to this icon of the new millennium "It was shaped by our collective Western unconscious. At once visible and invisible, real and immaterial, he is a 'Louis something', a sort of ghost, an invisible friend, a reflection, a shadow of a chair in a style I have called 'Louis Ghost'. It disappears, it dematerializes, like everything that is produced by our civilization."

In fact, it is precisely from an afterthought that the whole Louis operation begins; a unique rethinking which however comes from the dialogue of two different minds: "From the first object developed for me, Philippe wanted to differentiate itself from what was the image of the plastic product in the 70s". It is Claudio Luti who says it, he who acquired Kartell in 1988 and immediately began a collaboration with the French designer to revolutionize the company, aiming to infuse creativity and increase quality in the panorama of industrial plastic products.
