Peter Ghyczy Garden Egg Chair, 1960s
Designer Peter Ghyczy
Germany 1968
H 104cm (open) W 74cm D 83cm
An iconic Garden Egg Chair by Peter Ghyczy, one of the most recognizable examples of Space Age design from the late 1960s. With its sculptural rounded shell, hinged high back and striking red finish, the chair has a distinctly futuristic presence.
Originally conceived for both indoor and outdoor use, the Garden Egg opens to reveal a contrasting black upholstered interior, while the closed shell gives it its unmistakable egg-like form.
This example is offered in unrestored vintage condition and is in need of some restoration. The red shell shows visible wear, losses and chipping to the finish, particularly around the horizontal seam and edges, as documented in the photographs. The upholstery also shows signs of age. These condition issues have deliberately been left untouched, making this an excellent opportunity for restoration while preserving as much of the chair’s original character as possible.
