Peter Ghyczy is one of many designers in the 20th century who were also immigrants - including Henry van de Velde, Marcel Breuer, Hans Gugelot, Peter Maly - and had a major influence on German and international design. In 1968 he took a leading position at the company Elastogran in Lemförde in southern Lower Saxony, where he was responsible for the development of products made of polyurethane. Company owner Gottfried Reuter, a former chemist at Bayer in Leverkusen, was an expert in polyurethane production, for which he held several patents. In the 1960s he formed a group of companies (with a turnover of several hundred million German marks based on these patents). Between 1968 and 1972, Peter Ghyczy developed many innovative designs, identifying him as one of the most prolific designers of these years. In 1970 the Design-Center in Lemförde was inaugurated, built according to the design of Ghyczy, made entirely of polyurethane and the first of its kind. It was one of the early German design studios whose close collaboration between product design and technical development was hitherto unheard of in the plastics industry. This design studio produced many new, modular components, such as canopies, facade elements, but above all different types of furniture, including chairs, bucket seats, sectional sofas, tables, shelves and plastic door fronts for offices and kitchens. garden egg chair furniture fair with garden egg chair Licenses were granted to well-known companies, including Drabert, "die Vereinigten Werkstätten", Vitra (then called Fehlbaum GmbH), and Beylarian in the US. Of all these, only one model became famous: das Gartenei from 1968, the first hinged armchair. The Design Center was closed in 1972 and later demolished. Reuter sold his company to BASF and - more or less covertly - its polyurethane technology to the GDR, which got the Gartenei. This led to a chemical plant in Senftenberg producing it in unknown quantities. After the fall of the "Iron Curtain", it reappeared as "Senftenberger Ei" - often mistakenly seen as an East German design - in the late 90s art...
