I ain't afraid of no ghost!
Kartell's Ghost family has a new addition, the weirdly wonderfully named Ghost Buster!
Designed by Phillipe Starck and Eugeni Quitllet as a further development to the polycarbonate furniture designs of the Ghost range, Ghost Buster functions as a contemporary home storage unit.
Available in two sizes, the larger of the two features open fronted shelves that evoke the line of classic furniture but with a modern accent through Starck's use again of transparent polycarbonate and a single mould design.
The smaller of the two Ghost Buster designs, is the perfect size for a bedside unit and this larger one will fit seamlessly into any room in the home, whether you use it is an occasional table, bathroom storage unit or for general hallway storage.
The Ghost range has produced classic must haves such as the popular Louis Ghost Chair and we predict big things for the Ghost Buster range too!
You saw it here first! Orders now being taken for delivery June/July 2010

Original Wishbone Chair
The Wishbone Chair is every inch the Danish danish design classic. Designer by Hans J. Wegner for Carl Hansen in 1949 this is one chair which has stood the test of time and looks as modern today as it did then. Available in several wood finishes and launched in four shades of blue for 2010 the Wishbone Chair is right on trend for today's interiors. Oiled walnut is now on my wish list.

The Weatherman says...
The Weatherman might be predicting highs of 14C today, but we reckon it's still pretty chilly outside, so I'm treating myself to something to keep me wrapped up toasty-warm, but with a girly twist and this Foible floral print scarf fits the bill!
What's more these scarves are a pretty good length, so you can wrap up warm now, and then wear them loose to summer festivals. What more could a girl ask for?!
