PETER GHYCZY (Budapest, 1940 - The Netherlands, 2022) for Reuter Products. "Garden Egg Chair, 1960s. Polyurethane and fabric upholstery. In good condition with signs of use and age. Repaired hinge. Measurements: 98 x 84 x 74 cm. The Garden Egg Chair was designed for both indoors and outdoors, although, as a design icon and collector's item, it is rarely used outdoors. It was one of the first chairs made of polyurethane, as well as one of the forerunners in the use of hinges. It appears in several motion pictures. Its appearance reflects the aesthetic patterns of the time: the Space Age look (name given to the period in which the space race was launched, starting in 1957 with the launch of Sputnik. This fever to conquer space also reached design, and during the sixties and seventies a decoration model was developed based on an idyllic vision of the future, and everything to do with spaceships, new technologies and innovative materials), brightly colored plastic lacquer, portability and informality of the low seat. Peter Ghyczy is one of many 20th century designers who were also immigrants - among them Henry van de Velde, Marcel Breuer, Hans Gugelot, Peter Maly... and who had a great impact on German and international design. He completed his secondary education in Germany, studying sculpture in Düsseldorf before training in architecture at the Technical University of Aachen in 1960, specializing in construction engineering. During his studies, Ghyczy worked as an assistant to the renowned German architect Rudolf Steinbach (1903-1966) and on projects in Paris and Egypt. In 1968 he took up a position at Elastogran in Lemförde in southern Lower Saxony, where he was responsible for the development of polyurethane products. He also worked for Vitra.

In the style of JOSEF HOFFMANN (Brtnice, Czech Republic, 1870 - Vienna, 1956). Pair of armchairs. Walnut wood. Fabric upholstery with floral decoration. With signs of wear and tear. With xylophages. The wood needs to be reworked. Measurements: 73 x 55 x 47 cm. Pair of armchairs of Central European style, framed within the Viennese Secession, with structure in walnut wood with structure of parallel bands, functional and of refined volumes. An architect and industrial designer, Josef Hoffmann studied at the Academy of Applied Arts in Vienna, where he was a disciple of Carl Freiherr von Hasenauer and Otto Wagner, whose theories of functional, modern architecture would profoundly influence his work. He won the Prix de Rome in 1895, and the following year he joined Wagner's office, collaborating with Olbrich on some projects for the Metropolitan. He established his own office in 1898, and taught at the School of Decorative Arts in Vienna between 1899 and 1936. He was also a founding member of the Viennese Secession. In 1900 he travelled to London, where he came into contact with the English school and discovered Mackintosh. On his return, he set up a workshop for the production of objects based on designs by Secession artists, and the Wiener Werkstätte was born, a workshop which had a great influence on 20th-century industrial design. By 1903, production began on an international scale. In the course of his life, Hoffmann produced a variety of projects for buildings and furnishings, and exhibited his creations all over the world. He is currently represented in the MAK and the Leopold Museum in Vienna, the Metropolitan and MoMA in New York, the Brohan in Berlin, the Courtauld Institute in London and the Victoria & Albert in London, among many others.
