Ghost is the world's first armchair made of curved glass, a "habitable sculpture" consisting of a single sheet of 12 mm thick crystal properly curved with dynamic molds.
The result of more than two years of continuous experimentation, today Ghost is present in many permanent collections of the most important design museums in the world and winner of numerous awards and mentions, including the prestigious Compasso d'Oro Career Award 2022. The utmost expression of the characteristics of research, development, and iconicity, it is the perfect synthesis of innovation between design and technology, between aesthetics and technique.
"I thought of provocatively designing a nonexistent armchair, to sit in the ... void, but I never thought of making a glass armchair. My initial distrust of an idea that seemed unreal was overcome by the desire/challenge to see if it could be made concrete, and if Fiam would be good enough to succeed in making it.”- Cini Boeri
