Price History
Description
Part of Design Icons Designed by innovative architect and product designer Philippe Starck, the Ghost chair has become a modern cult classic. The elegant Neoclassical style, complete with slim oval back, is pared right down down into one single moulding of crystal-clear polycarbonate - which has a transparent, 'ghost' appearance. Polycarbonate is highly durable, wipe-clean and practical. Up to 7 of these chairs can be stacked. Philippe Starck is a legend of modern design whose repertoire has left permanent mark by producing some of the iconic shapes of the 20th century through his bold reworkings of everyday objects - from interiors to mass-produced consumer goods such as toothbrushes, chairs, and even houses. Please note: not all our ranges are on display in our shops.
Our Stylist Says
I often recommend the ghost chair for its clean lines and transparent finish - it visually opens up a room without competing with other pieces. Made from durable polycarbonate, it works equally well in a pared-back Scandi scheme, an industrial loft or even a bold, colour-rich dining space. In practical terms, it’s lightweight and stackable, so you can tuck it away when extra seating isn’t needed, and a simple seat pad or faux-fur throw adds comfort and a touch of texture. Pair it with a solid timber table or a sleek glass desk to balance warmth and modernity.

A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
