Space Age Coffee Table by Peter Ghyczy Horn Collection 1970s

Space Age polyurethane (baydur) coffee table  by Peter Ghyczy for Horn Collection.

German designer Peter Ghyczy was born in Budapest in 1940. Following political unrest, Ghyczy’s family fled Budapest in 1956, moving first to Vienna, then to Bonn in Germany. Ghyczy finished his secondary education in Germany, studying sculpture in Düsseldorf before studying architecture in Aachen in 1960. After graduating, Ghyczy worked on a large number of designs produced by furniture makers and factories in Germany, including Vitra. Today, Ghyczy’s designs from the 1970s are highly sought-after by collectors and fetch high prices on the vintage market. Among his most iconic designs are the side- and coffee table he designed for Horn Collection, in the typical and widely popular Space Age style.
