Peter Ghyczy Garden Egg Chair base is rigid and sturdy in black polyurethane. Inside is a padded covering upholstered in emerald green fabric for a comfortable chair.
The Garden Egg Chair was designed in 1968 by Hungarian designer Peter Ghyczy.
Ghyczy’s concept was to design a chair that could be moved inside or outside and used with the seat open or closed. When closed, it can be picked up and carried like a suitcase. It is highly functional, and its opening mechanism ensures that the chair withstands the elements. Home furniture and a sculpture in one, it is a true Pop design icon.
