The chair lid lifts and closes, and when closed is theoretically waterproof. Peter Ghyczy started his working career as chief designer for the Polyurethane factory 'Elastogran GmbH' in Germany. His job was to start a design centre in order to show industrial customers polyurethane's potential. The The Garden Egg Chair is one of the first chairs made with polyurethane.
The design incorporates features typical of the period: a space age look , UFO-like form, bright color, portability and the informal lounging quality of the low seat. Elastogran/Reuter produced the plastic polyurethane.
