Marie Antoinette in Modern Times



Once upon a time, plastic furnishings were meant to stay in pre-K classrooms with primary-colored finger paint spattered all over them. Then, a very merci beaucoup to Kartell, and plastic, contemporary furniture became the go-to for gracing homes with luxe and sophistication. 

Now, Kartell keeps on giving. The classic Louis Ghost Chair (pictured above) that Philippe Starck designed comes in a variety of colors. If I were so lucky to own these chairs, I would keep it traditional with the crystal clear color adding this seating to a dark, domineering, rustic wood dining table. 



Posed with candle light, colorful food and drinks, and a very-well dressed guest list  a dinner party could look much like a lavish one at Marie Antoinette's minus the roller, white wigs..ugh.


Come back tomorrow for more on Kartell and a little surprise!
