After the Hungarian revolution of 1956, Peter Ghyczy left his native country and settled in West-Germany. He initially visited sculpture class at the art academy of Düsseldorf but soon decided to study architecture at the university in Aachen instead. With a degree in architecture, Peter Ghyczy became an employee of plastics producer Reuter in Lemförde.
In 1972, due to the conservative attitude of manufacturers, decided to found his own company, ‘Ghyczy Selection’, which to this day continues to offer products of contemporary innovative design combined with state of the art production techniques.
The Garden Egg chair was designed by Peter Ghyczy in 1968. It was originally manufactured by Reuter Products. The chair was designed for both indoor/outdoor use and has become a real design icon of the mid 20th Century!
The back of this innovative indoor/outdoor chair can be folded down when not in use to form an egg shape sculpture that looks great whether it be within the home or the garden. The chair is made from re-enforced fibreglass shell and a padded internal upholstery seat pad.
