Peter Ghyczy's work as a designer.
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.

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 scene, where it became a highly sought after collector's item, Peter Ghyczy now produces its own reissue.
In 1972 he founded Ghyczy + Co Design in Viersen and presented his first furniture collection. It was based on casting techniques that he transferred from plastic to metal. He patented many of his developments, especially for his innovative method of clamping glass and metal together. He used this technique for a new type of "frameless" table, which was often copied and which he used as the basis for an entire product line. Finally the also patented "frameless" shelf R03 came around, which has long since found its way - as plagiarism - into many furniture stores.

Peter Ghyczy designed numerous lamps, for example the MegaWatt series and the table lamp MW 17, a curved, balanced steel Rohr; another “frameless” construction—an idea akin to a famous piece in design history, the “legless” “Freischwinger” presented by Mart Stam and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in 1927. Peter Ghyczy often used cast metal parts. This method stems from his early experiences with plastic castings.

Information about Peter Ghyczy.
German designer Peter Ghyczy was born in Budapest, Hungary in 1940.
After political turmoil, Ghyczy's family fled Budapest in 1956, first to Vienna and then to Bonn in Germany. Ghyczy completed his secondary education in Germany, studied sculpture in Düsseldorf before studying architecture at the Technical University of Aachen in 1960, specializing in structural engineering.
He graduated in 1967 and wrote his thesis on unconventional school buildings. During his studies, Ghyczy worked as an assistant to the famous German architect Rudolf Steinbach (1903-1966) and on projects in Paris and Egypt. In 1969 he became a German citizen.
After graduating, Ghyczy worked on a large number of designs by furniture makers and factories in Germany, including Vitra. Ghyczy's most successful design during this period was the Garden Egg Chair (1968) for Reuter, which remains one of his most recognizable designs today and is one of the earliest known examples of a hinged chair...

Peter Ghyczy Glass Coffee Table with Stainless Steel Frame Biri T29
By Peter Ghyczy
Located in Oirlo, LI
This beautiful coffee table was designed by the Hungarian designer Peter Ghyczy in the 1980s.
The table consists of a 30 mm thick glass plate that rests on a stainless steel frame. This frame is made of a continuous square tube of 4 x 4 cm.
Both the legs and the resting points on which the table top rests are decorated with gold-coloured details. The resting points are depicted as little monks holding up the table top.
The model of the table is T29 and comes from the Biri series, named after Ghyczy's nanny. The entire Biri series stands for sturdy yet graceful design, based on simple geometric shapes.
