The small Ghost Buster is the newest addition to the Ghost family designed by Philippe Starck for Kartell, and is now available from Shoreditch design boutique, Lifestylebazaar.

The sleek contemporary design mixes square corners and gentle rounded surfaces, with four slim legs supporting a small cube. The design is elegant and intriguing, and is at once both retro and futurist in style.

Made of PMMA in a single mono-bloc mould, the transparency of the plastic transforms the table into a naked ethereal vision – a ghost – an evocation of the piece of furniture that it represents.

The subtle mix of solidity and transparency, corners and curves, straight and sinuous lines, continue in an infinite play of perspectives and reflections that catch the eye, fascinate and spark the curiosity.

The small Ghost Buster featured here, is a simple, flexible piece, which can be at home in any house; beside the bed or next to the sofa, as a side table with a lamp, or in a modern bathroom holding toiletries.

Also available in the Ghost range by Kartell is the original Ghost Buster; a classic commode given a very contemporary new look by Starck.

This larger cube with 2 internal shelves would look fantastic as a console in an entrance hall or a living room, or in the bedroom as a small bookshelf.

Small Ghost Buster
Available in: Black, Crystal, Red, Smoke, Violet, White, Yellow.
Dimensions: 40 cm x 37 cm x 57 cm high.
