The Garden Egg Chair updated

At the moment the art collection is being catalogued and research is ongoing about the pieces, including an original red Egg Chair.

Designed in the late 1960s by Peter Ghyczy, this iconic piece of furniture was made in what was then the divided countries of East and West Germany. This article on the Victoria and Albert website describes what was then a rare collaboration.

Now, in a neat turn of events, Peter’s son, Felix, has created an Egg Chair that addresses global concerns about plastic. By using algae to make the polyurethane for this piece the designer hopes this shows the way for more environmentally-friendly materials.
