Peter Ghyczy for Ghyczy Design, Garden Egg or Senftenberg Egg, 1968
About the Item
The Garden Egg Chair, designed by Peter Ghyczy in 1968, is one of the most iconic pieces of futuristic design from the second half of the 20th century. Its innovative shell-like form and unique opening mechanism make it not only visually striking but also highly functional.
Originally designed as an outdoor chair, it was crafted from lightweight yet durable materials such as polyurethane and fiberglass. When closed, it protects the inner cushions from the elements, and when opened, it transforms into a comfortable and ergonomically shaped seat.
Today, the Garden Egg Chair is considered a design icon and is part of prestigious museum collections, including the V&A Museum in London and the German Design Museum in Berlin.
The chair is in good vintage condition, with minor signs of use that add to its authentic character. The textile seat section has been replaced.
