The garden(egg)chair is a versatile piece of high-end furniture meant primarily for outdoor use, but by now also a true design classic dating from 1968. Its creator, Peter Ghyczy intended the chair for use in the garden as well as indoors, and because of this its particular features are well adjusted for a life outside. With the top folded up, the garden(egg)chair is a comfortable place to relax in, on its soft cushion interior. When flipped down, it turns into a stylish piece of garden art with a resistant exterior hiding the cushion away underneath its waterproof cover for all-weather use. As of the year 2001, production of the original garden(egg)chair has returned to its roots, at Ghyczy Selection BV, and at its 40-year anniversary a specially designed limited edition of the textile cushion cover was released. Furthermore, the chair has been taken up in the Vitra Design Museum Miniatures Collection, certifying its importance among designer furniture. The garden(egg)chair can be ordered from the website at: www.gardeneggchair.com, or purchased at design shows/conventions across Europe as well as certain retailers. Naturally the website can also be consulted for more information about the garden(egg) chair and how to purchase it.
