Designed by renowned designer Philippe Starck for Kartell, François Ghost is a series of rectangular wall mirrors, reminiscent of bevelled crystal frames. Available in two sizes, these frames are made of transparent polycarbonate with seagull wing-shaped cut-outs. They can be hung horizontally or vertically depending on the dimensions of your bedroom, living room or bathroom. These mirrors are inspired by the colours of Murano glass and are designed to create a beautiful sense of depth. François Ghost is a reasonably priced, sleek and unusual series, so you can gaze at yourself in beauty.
Born in Paris in 1949, Philippe Starck is one of today's most original and prolific designers. Philippe Starck has become a hallowed figure of international design. A self-proclaimed "autodidact" after a spell at the Camondo school, he was already a company director even before he came of age. An inspired Jack-of-all-trades, he has no hesitation in revisiting the styles and icons of the past. While he regularly works in the world of luxury, he is also credited with democratising design. He has worked extensively with a wide range of industrial partners, particularly furniture manufacturers such as Cassina, Driade and Kartell. The Mademoiselle bridge combines an airy polycarbonate structure with a comfortable seat in polyurethane upholstered in fabrics emblematic of various Italian designers (Missoni, D&G and Valentino). He won major prizes such as the Grand Prix National de la Création industrielle and the Honor Award from the American Institute of Architects. Philippe Starck describes himself as "a Japanese architect, an American set designer, a German industrial designer, a French art director and an Italian furniture designer". He also works with lighting and tableware manufacturers such as Baccarat and Flos on the KTribe collection.

KARTELL
In 1949, Giulio Castelli founded the Italian company Kartell, which specialises in the manufacture of plastic goods. In 1963, he married architect Anna Castelli Ferrieri, who also became his collaborator. The Kartell collection is extensive, attractive and easy to use. Colour, play on meaning, transparency and unique shapes create unrivalled objects. Kartell soon became the symbol of "Made in Italy" design and offers a product catalogue composed of furniture, decorative accessories and lighting. They represent the icon of contemporary design. Kartell enjoyed global success thanks to its involvement in research and innovation, by using efficient production systems and increasingly modern technologies.
