Lonneke Gordijn & Ralph Nauta: The Ghost

The Ghost is a futuristic concept of a chair, 3-dimensionally captured within the boundaries of reality. It gives you a bit of a dramatic feeling: unbelievable, high-tech, but beautiful. The ghost is designed by Lonneke Gordijn en Ralph Nauta. Together they run a studio called Design Drift.

The material shape is kept very uniform to remain a big contrast with the organic shapes inside. We sketched a futuristic concept of a chair that can not exist yet. By doing this we deliberate our design from the trend of stereotypical baroque forms. Nowadays anything is possible with 3D computerprograms (you can even draw the impossible) so why fall back on the awkward design language of your grandma’s furniture? With the Ghost Chair we want to make clear that it is time to free ourselves of old styles and trends and to start designing our own future.

It is a very new and exclusive product using the latest production techniques. The chairs are handmade with the best materials and specialists from Europe, therefore they will be very suitable for high end purposes. We can make every chair unique on the inside! There are also possibilities to customize the design of the inside ghost in consultation with the designers. The Salone del Mobile Milan 2008 was the kick off the ghost collection. The collection will excist of eight different (table)chairs, two different armchairs and a stools.
