Ghosts are furniture too

When I first ran across the "ghost" chair, some time ago, my initial thought was "well that's kind of silly." I tend to shirk away from spaces that are extremely modern b/c although they may be aesthetically pleasing, I prefer a warmer, more comfortable space. The ghost chair seemed to fit perfectly into the category of uber modern, too clean for me, kind of look; however, I've unwittingly become increasingly fond of this trendy piece. If I could find a chair that I could afford, I think I would seriously consider purchasing one. Here are some I like, but unfortunately they're all out of my price range.

So what do you think about the ghost chair, take it or leave it? Does anyone know of affordable options?
