The Garden Egg Chair by Peter Ghyczy, 1968
We, ‘BOLD-people’, love stories and histories. So we dove into the internet archives to track down more information about our Garden Egg Chair and its designer, Peter Ghyczy.
Ghyczy was child of an aristocratic family and grew up in Buda, a district of Budapest. After the invasion of the Red Army in 1945, in which his father was killed, he was sent to the family's property Vásárosnameny in the Puszta plains. In 1947 he was brought to Belgium by the International Red Cross for one year, where he learned French.
