Price History
Description
Shifting perspectives, the Ghost Buster creates an ethereal effect through its sleek, glossy surfaces. Designers Philippe Starck and Eugeni Quitllet rely on Kartell’s innovative manufacturing processes to achieve this side table’s seamless finish, forming its boxy shape and raised legs from a single sheet of durable plastic that can be finished in a choice of solid of transparent tones.
Our Stylist Says
I’m a big fan of the Ghost Buster side table for its lightweight, transparent form - it gives storage or display space without making a room feel cluttered. The smoked-fume finish adds just enough depth to sit alongside crisp Scandi whites or richer jewel tones in a modern living area. Styling-wise, it works well next to a sofa as a minimal drinks table, or in a hallway holding keys and a small plant. Because it’s see-through, you can layer books, baskets or a sculptural vase beneath and still retain that open, airy vibe.

A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
