Philippe Starck designed the Kartell Louis Ghost as a transparent polycarbonate update to the carved Louis XV armchair, giving dining rooms a recognizable silhouette without blocking the view through the room. The authentic chair lists for $1,290 per pair, or $645 each, while these Amazon dupes come much closer to an everyday budget and preserve the clear, visually weightless effect, with options for single accent chairs and complete dining sets.

The Single Chairs

Two chairs sold one at a time: the classic armchair silhouette from Modway and a modern square back from Flash Furniture.

Ghost Armchair · Clear Acrylic · Stacking · Fully Assembled$222.99

Modway Casper Acrylic Dining Armchair, Clear

The closest thing on this page to the chair that started it all. An oval medallion back, slim curved arms, and gently tapered legs, molded in clear acrylic that reads as a single piece of glass from across the room. It stacks, it arrives fully assembled, and it comes from a brand furniture people already know. Buy one for a desk or vanity, or build the whole table a chair at a time.

Best For

Dining tables that need to stay visually light, desks and vanities, small rooms where a solid chair would eat the floor plan

Pairs Well With

A round pedestal table, a sheepskin throw draped over the back, warm wood floors that show through the seat

Ghost Side Chair · Square Back · 32.5″ Tall · Single$90.24

Flash Furniture Emilie Ghost Chair with Square Back, Transparent Crystal

The modern one. Where the classic ghost chair curves, the Emilie squares off: a clean rectangular back over a trim seat, at thirty two and a half inches tall and under sixteen inches wide. It is the ghost chair for rooms that lean contemporary rather than Louis XV, and the smallest footprint in this lineup. The price makes it an easy first acrylic piece.

Best For

Modern and minimalist rooms, tight corners and narrow desks, trying the clear furniture look before committing to a full set

Pairs Well With

A straight legged parsons desk, black and white photography, crisp white walls and trim

The Set Route

Three ways to seat the whole table at once: a four pack of oval back ghosts, an ornate pair, and a clear shell set on silver metal legs.

Ghost Side Chairs · Set of 4 · Stackable · Indoor/Outdoor$279.64

Flash Furniture Murray Ghost Chairs, Set of 4, Transparent Crystal

The whole dining table in one order. Four armless ghost chairs with the classic oval back, in a crystal clear finish, stackable when the party ends and rated for indoor and outdoor use. Armless chairs tuck fully under the table between meals, which is exactly why designers reach for this silhouette in small dining rooms. The per chair math is the best of any pick here.

Best For

Seating a full table at once, apartments where chairs must disappear under the table, patios and sunrooms that want one chair inside and out

Pairs Well With

A weathered farmhouse table for contrast, a jute rug, linen napkins and unfussy white dishware

Ghost Side Chairs · Set of 2 · Sculpted Belle Back · Stackable$288

2xhome Belle Ghost Dining Chairs, Set of 2, Clear

The romantic of the group. The Belle back is carved into a sculpted frame with an inset oval, over shapely curved legs, so the chair keeps its ornament even though it is completely transparent. A pair flanking a bedroom vanity or a breakfast table brings the French salon mood without adding any visual weight. Stackable, and happy indoors or out.

Best For

Vanities and dressing tables, breakfast nooks for two, traditional and Parisian leaning rooms that still want the clear chair trick

Pairs Well With

An ornate gilt mirror, a marble topped vanity, blush and cream textiles, a small crystal chandelier

Clear Shell Chairs · Set of 4 · Silver Metal Legs · 32.67″ Tall$179.99

Baysitone Clear Dining Chairs with Silver Metal Legs, Set of 4

The mid century detour. Instead of an all acrylic body, Baysitone floats a clear molded shell on slim tapered silver metal legs, the way the famous fiberglass shell chairs did. The result mixes into Scandinavian and mid century rooms that would find a Louis back too ornate, and the transparent seat keeps a rug or a wood floor on full display. Four chairs, one box, done.

Best For

Mid century and Scandinavian dining rooms, mixing with wood chairs at the same table, rooms where a full Louis silhouette feels too formal

Pairs Well With

A walnut or oak dining table, a graphic flat weave rug, a line drawing or two on the wall

Ghost Chair Matchups: Which Clear Chair Should You Buy in 2026?

Most shoppers narrow this decision to two chairs fast, so here are the two matchups we get asked about, settled.

Modway Casper vs. Flash Furniture Murray: single armchair or set of four?

The Modway Casper is the closer match to the original armchair; the Flash Furniture Murray set of four is the smarter way to seat a whole table. The Casper carries the full Louis vocabulary, oval back, arms, and shaped legs, and arrives fully assembled, which makes it the pick for head of table seats, desks, and vanities where the chair is on display from every angle. The Murray set trades the arms for a slimmer armless profile that slides fully under the table, stacks for storage, and is rated for outdoor use, all at a per chair cost the singles cannot touch. Buy the Casper where one chair carries the moment; buy the Murray where four chairs carry a dinner party.

2xhome Belle vs. Baysitone shell: ornate or minimal?

The 2xhome Belle pair wins in traditional and Parisian rooms; the Baysitone shell set wins in mid century and Scandinavian ones. These two sit at opposite ends of the clear chair spectrum. The Belle keeps the ornament, with a sculpted back frame and curvy legs that read like carved furniture rendered in glass, so it flatters gilt mirrors, marble, and soft textiles. The Baysitone strips it away, floating a plain clear shell on tapered silver metal legs that belongs next to walnut and white oak. Neither is the compromise choice: pick by the room's existing vocabulary and both look intentional on day one.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best Louis Ghost chair dupe?+

The Modway Casper armchair is the closest overall match: it repeats the oval back, slim curved arms, tapered legs, and clear acrylic construction of the original, arrives fully assembled, and stacks. If you are seating a full table rather than styling a single chair, the Flash Furniture Murray set of four delivers the same transparent effect in an armless silhouette at the best per chair price on this page.

Why are ghost chairs so popular with designers?+

Because they add seats without adding visual bulk. A clear chair lets the floor, the rug, and the table legs stay visible, which keeps small rooms feeling open and lets a statement table or a great rug remain the focal point. The Louis silhouette also bridges styles: the shape is traditional while the material is modern, so one chair works in rooms that mix eras.

Arms or armless: which ghost chair should I buy for a dining table?+

Armless chairs like the Flash Furniture Murray and the 2xhome Belle tuck completely under the table between meals, which is the space saving move in tight dining rooms, and they slide in and out without clipping the tabletop. Armchairs like the Modway Casper read more finished and are the classic choice for the head of the table or anywhere the chair is seen from the side. Plenty of tables mix both: armchairs on the ends, armless down the sides.

How do I keep clear acrylic chairs looking new?+

Dust them with a soft microfiber cloth and clean with mild soap and water rather than ammonia based glass sprays, which can cloud acrylic over time. Lift rather than drag them on hard floors, and add felt pads to the feet. Small surface marks tend to disappear into the transparency at normal viewing distance, which is part of why these chairs hold up so well in real households.

Can ghost chairs go outside?+

Two of the picks here, the Flash Furniture Murray set and the 2xhome Belle pair, are listed for indoor and outdoor use, which makes them easy chairs to shuttle to a patio or sunroom for a party. Whatever clear chair you choose, a covered spot is kinder than all day direct sun, and a quick rinse keeps pollen and dust from dulling the finish.

Do clear chairs work with a wood dining table?+

Beautifully, and the contrast is the point: transparent seating keeps a warm wood table from feeling heavy, and the table keeps the acrylic from feeling cold. The Baysitone shell set, with its silver metal legs, is the natural partner for walnut and oak mid century tables, while the Louis silhouettes flatter farmhouse and pedestal tables. If the table is the star, clear chairs are the supporting cast that never upstages it.

The Bottom Line

For the truest Louis Ghost energy in a single chair, it is the Modway Casper armchair, and that is where we would start. Whole table projects go to the Flash Furniture Murray set of four, romantic rooms to the 2xhome Belle pair, modern rooms to the Flash Emilie square back, and mid century rooms to the Baysitone shell set.

Ghost chairs love a sculptural table to orbit: see our Saarinen Tulip table dupes for the classic pairing, our pedestal dining tables guide for more bases that show off through a clear seat, and our RH Cloud sofa dupes when the seating project moves to the living room.
