The Story
“I would never have thought of making a chair from glass… My initial distrust of an idea which seemed quite unrealistic was overcome by the desire to take up the challenge and see whether it could actually be made, whether FIAM would be clever enough to transform the concept into reality.” - Cini Boeri
This vintage 1987 Italian “Ghost Chair” by Cini Boeri for FIAM is an iconic example of late 20th-century design, crafted from a single sheet of curved glass.
Designed in collaboration with Tomu Katayanagi, the chair reflects Boeri’s exploration of the relationship between people, space, and material. Its seamless curvature creates a fluid, sculptural form, giving the piece a striking sense of lightness while maintaining structural integrity.
