Senftenberger Garden Egg from Peter Ghyczy (L)

Senftenberg Garden Egg Chair by Peter Ghyczy, 1968

A true Space Age design icon, the Garden Egg Chair by Peter Ghyczy embodies the futuristic optimism of the late 1960s. With its bold, sculptural form in molded plastic and upholstered interior, it merges playful aesthetics with innovative functionality.

First produced in 1968 by VEB Synthesewerk in Senftenberg (East Germany), the chair was designed as an outdoor piece: lightweight, weather-resistant, and able to close completely like a protective shell. When opened, its hinged top transforms into a comfortable seat with integrated armrests, making it as practical as it is visually striking.

Rare and highly collectible, original Garden Egg Chairs are celebrated as milestones of postwar design history and remain sought-after centerpieces in both private and museum collections.
