The Egg Chair by Peter Ghyczy, produced in Germany in the 1970s, epitomizes the space age movement and the experimental design spirit of its era. Crafted entirely from molded fiberglass, the chair achieves a monolithic, seamless shell free of visible joints or hardware. The vivid, saturated orange hue is heightened by the continuous, high-gloss surface that flows uninterrupted over the entire form, without contrasting color accents or additional textures. Organic, biomorphic curves evoke the shape of a partially opened egg, merging the seat, base, and movable backrest into one unbroken gesture—altogether free from visual interruptions. Supporting areas are ergonomically shaped, so the chair remains functional despite its sculptural quality. All visible zones are smooth and consistent, with no upholstery. The chair is preserved in restored condition, featuring a flawless surface with no signs of wear—professionally refreshed both in finish and construction.
