Product description
Pair of "Ghost" chairs, JC de Castelbajac for Acrila, Acrylic glass, after Philippe Starck – France Spectacular pair of high-quality French acrylic glass chairs, inspired by the design of the Louis Ghost model created by Philippe Starck for the Italian manufacturer Kartell in 2002. Many designers have been inspired by Starck's original design to create different pieces of furniture, furniture where form, image, transparency, and light combine. Specifically, this pair is attributed to the French designer Jean Charles de Castelbajac, for Acrila. They represent the perfect combination of tradition and modernity, as the model is truly an avant-garde stylization of Louis XVI-style chairs in a completely modern material. Originally, Louis XVI chairs, a symbol of elegance, were made of wood, with upholstered backs and seats. In this case, the acrylic glass offers an ethereal and crystalline appearance, creating the piece in a single block, without the need for screws or adhesives. Taking advantage of the transparency of the material, the structure of the Louis XVI chairs is imitated, both the backrest, the seat and the four legs, all in white, and upholstered in pink. Model: Ghost Designer: Jean Charles de Castelbajac Brand: Acrila Materials: Acrylic glass Year: 2002 Country of origin: France Good condition according to its age and use Total dimensions: 90 x 40 x 42 cm. Seat height: 44 cm. About Acrila Acrila is a French design company based in Bordeaux, founded in 2007 by the married couple Jean-Christophe Bernard and Isabelle Bernard. It is recognized for its innovative approach, creating contemporary acrylic furniture with unique and extravagant designs. Its founder developed a printing process through which graphic images can be printed directly onto the acrylic thanks to an industrial printer. Therefore, each piece of furniture is made by hand, going through the processes of printing, modeling and polishing. The material used, acrylic glass, is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, scratch- and sun-resistant, and does not yellow over time. Jean-Charles de Castelbajac is one of its leading designers. An iconoclast and avant-garde artist with a flair for Pop Art, he combines fashion with art, creating fun and colorful designs. About Philippe Starck (1949–) and Kartell Philippe Patrick Starck is a contemporary French architect and industrial designer, world-renowned for the functionality and aesthetics of his designs. Throughout his career, he has created everything from hotel and luxury yacht interiors to toothbrushes and teapots. However, for each project, Starck has maintained an instantly recognizable signature style: a dynamic, elegant, fluid, and ingenious look, full of originality. Meanwhile, the Italian company Kartell is internationally recognized for having brought a material like altuglas to the interior design world. It was founded in 1949 by Giulio Castelli, a chemical engineer whose aspiration was to create objects from this material. From the very beginning, he began a fruitful collaboration with the great designer Gino Colombini. From the outset, Kartell's goal was to "brighten the domestic landscape."
