Designed: 1967

The Garden Egg chair was designed by Peter Ghyczy in 1967-1968. This chair has an outstanding design, and as its name says it, it has the shape of an egg. Its back is folded and when closed, it looks like a big plastic, waterproof sealed egg. The exterior is made of plastic and fiberglass and the interior is upholstered with cotton and you can detach it which makes it easier to clean. The chair comes in various glossy colors, from yellow, pink, to exclusive ones, like mother-of-pearl or silver grey. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor positioning and looks very chique in your garden, with the square table.
