Finding the Right Seating for You
With entire areas of our homes reserved for “sitting rooms,” the value of quality antique and vintage seating cannot be overstated.
Fortunately, the design of side chairs, armchairs and other lounge furniture — since what were, quite literally, the early perches of our ancestors — has evolved considerably.
Among the earliest standard seating furniture were stools. Egyptian stools, for example, designed for one person with no seat back, were x-shaped and typically folded to be tucked away. These rudimentary chairs informed the design of Greek and Roman stools, all of which were a long way from Sori Yanagi's Butterfly stool or Alvar Aalto's Stool 60. In the 18th century and earlier, seats with backs and armrests were largely reserved for high nobility.
The seating of today is more inclusive but the style and placement of chairs can still make a statement. Antique desk chairs and armchairs designed in the style of Louis XV, which eventually included painted furniture and were often made of rare woods, feature prominently curved legs as well as Chinese themes and varied ornaments. Much like the thrones of fairy tales and the regency, elegant lounges crafted in the Louis XV style convey wealth and prestige. In the kitchen, the dining chair placed at the head of the table is typically reserved for the head of the household or a revered guest.
Of course, with luxurious vintage or antique furnishings, every chair can seem like the best seat in the house. Whether your preference is stretching out on a plush sofa, such as the Serpentine, designed by Vladimir Kagan, or cozying up in a vintage wingback chair, there is likely to be a comfy classic or contemporary gem for you on 1stDibs.
With respect to the latest obsessions in design, cane seating has been cropping up everywhere, from sleek armchairs to lounge chairs, while bouclé fabric, a staple of modern furniture design, can be seen in mid-century modern, Scandinavian modern and Hollywood Regency furniture styles.
Admirers of the sophisticated craftsmanship and dark woods frequently associated with mid-century modern seating can find timeless furnishings in our expansive collection of lounge chairs, dining chairs and other items — whether they’re vintage editions or alluring official reproductions of iconic designs from the likes of Hans Wegner or from Charles and Ray Eames. Shop our inventory of Egg chairs, designed in 1958 by Arne Jacobsen, the Florence Knoll lounge chair and more.
No matter your style, the collection of unique chairs, sofas and other seating on 1stDibs is surely worthy of a standing ovation.
Questions About Ghost Chairs
- Why is the ghost chair iconic?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The Louis Ghost chair is iconic for its elegant clear Lucite design, created by Phillipe Starck in 2002. It makes it exceptionally versatile to incorporate into existing decor, as well as making it an eye-catching style statement. Shop a collection of ghost chairs from top sellers around the world on 1stDibs.
- How much is a ghost chair?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021A ghost chair is made of clear plastic or glass and virtually disappears in a room, largely leaving only a ghostly silhouette compared to other furnishings in proximity to it. A good ghost chair can cost anywhere between $400 and $500. On 1stDibs, find a variety of antique and vintage ghost chairs.
- Are ghost chairs comfortable?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The comfort of ghost chairs is a matter of preference and depends on each sitter’s comfort needs. Ghost chairs are made with polycarbonate plastic, which doesn’t provide any additional cushioning or support. Ghost chairs can be made more comfortable with cushions and throws. Shop a selection of ghost chairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The Louis Ghost chair is made of clear or tinted polycarbonate, a durable, yet lightweight type of thermoplastic polymer. Phillipe Stark designed the chair in 2002, drawing inspiration from traditional Louis XVI armchairs. Shop a selection of Phillipe Stark Ghost chairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Kartell Louis Ghost chairs are made of lucite. Designed by Phillipe Starck for Kartell in 2002, this clear chair is crafted from a single piece of plastic, making it a beautifully elegant piece. On 1stDibs, find a range of authentic Kartell Ghost chairs from top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024To tell if a Ghost chair is real, turn it over and examine the underside of the polycarbonate seat. A genuine piece will feature the Kartell name embossed on its surface. If the name appears on a paper label or tag, your chair may be a replica. Also, any errors in spelling or discrepancies in the font are usually signs of a counterfeit. Because there are convincing reproductions on the market, you may wish to seek the opinion of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer when authenticating your chair. Find a wide range of Philippe Starck Louis Ghost chairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 29, 2024Philippe Starck designed the Louis Ghost chair for Kartell in 2002. The chair is a postmodern take on the classic Louis XVI armchair, a style that emerged under the fraught reign of French King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette. This style represented the birth of neoclassicism in France and was characterized by a relative restraint compared to the Rococo flourishes of previous eras. The second half of the chair’s name refers to its materiality. It wasn’t Starck’s first plastic chair for Kartell, but it was the first time it could use a single polycarbonate plastic mold in the process, creating a structure completely free of joints. Formally, Starck distilled the geometry of his antique reference to its main elements: the oval-shaped backrest, curved armrests and straight legs. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of Philippe Starck Louis Ghost chairs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Philippe Starck designed the Ghost chair for the furniture maker Kartell to produce and sell in 2002. It draws inspiration from the Louis XVI upholstered armchair. You'll find a collection of Philippe Starck Ghost chairs from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
