Peter Ghyczy


Born in Budapest, Peter Ghyczy started his career as an architect in Germany as head of the legendary “design center”. Peter Ghyczy is famous as the designer of the “Garden Egg Chair”. This chair has reached iconic status and has become part of the collection of many museums in the world including the Vitra Design Museum and Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

Peter Ghyczy has been living in the Netherlands for many years and this is where he founded the company.
In an age of mass production and fast paced trends, where product life cycles are shortening and look increasingly alike, Peter Ghyczy aims to create enduring values.

Peter Ghyczy design and manufacture a timeless furniture collection of distinctive clarity and formal rigour, delicately balancing elegance, beauty and modernity – a collection for the connoisseur with a sense of life’s essentials, who values unique objects and expects furniture design to move beyond the merely fashionable. Novel interpretations of classic forms, imposing, high-grade materials and solid craftsmanship work together to give every piece a unique shine. Patina is part of the design. The characteristic combinations of brass, aluminium, wood and stainless steel with glass are custom-made and handcrafted in Holland.
