Description: A rare and iconic pair of Garden Egg Chairs designed by Peter Ghyczy in the late 1960s. These highly recognizable chairs are celebrated for their futuristic, pod-like form and innovative construction.
Crafted from molded fiberglass with a glossy red finish, the chairs feature a hinged top shell that opens to reveal a comfortable, upholstered interior. Originally conceived for both indoor and outdoor use, the closing shell function was designed to protect the seating from the elements—making the design as practical as it is visually striking.
When closed, the chairs form a compact, sculptural object; when opened, they transform into intimate lounge seats with a cocooning feel. The contrast between the bold exterior and the dark interior enhances their dramatic presence.
An iconic example of Space Age design, these chairs are highly sought after by collectors and design enthusiasts alike.
Condition: In good vintage condition with visible signs of wear consistent with age and use. Pictures are part of the description
Materials: Fiberglass shell, upholstered interior, metal hinges.
Dimensions: W75 X H45
Period: ‘60 / ‘70s
