Born in Budapest 1st December 1940, Peter Ghyczy has lived a life of extraordinary experiences. Having grown up protected within the elitist world of an aristocratic family, Ghyczy felt the trauma of war first hand. His father died during the invasion of the Red Army, which saw him spend several years travelling between relatives and countries in order to stay safe from harm. Today, just as he did in the 1960’s, Peter Ghyczy designs with the idea of producing zero waste. The first branded GHYCZY collection was exhibited in Cologne, with table models T09 and T14 an immediate success. As the...

GHYCZY focuses on quality and creating the most steadfast of constructions, using as little materials as possible. With the highest quality materials in constant supply through locally sourced producers, GHYCZY is made to outlast generations of use. Because of this, specially crafted techniques in glass, solid wood and casted metals have redefined the design aging process so as to only increase GHYCZY’s value, over time.

Matt Nickel* Gloss Nickel* Matt Aluminium* Gloss Aluminium* Matt Stainless Steel+ Gloss Stainless Steel+ Gloss Copper*+ Skilled local craftsmen use age-old traditions to cast GHYCZY metal parts together, ensuring maximum strength. Small pores and irregularities are characteristic of any casting process and determine a unique finish to all designs. Any casted parts of a GHYCZY design are a solid, polished piece of handcrafted excellence. Using high quality stainless steel from Scandinavia, its high nickel and chromium content makes for the strongest of metals.

Natural Cherry Wenge Cherry Natural Walnut Carefully selected solid wood of German origin, is a living natural product and can respond to changes in temperature and humidity by expanding or shrinking. The knots or cracks that can be seen are natural characteristics, not considered errors, or faulty by any means. Each piece of wood is unique in its look and structure, texture and colour. Another aspect that makes every GHYCZY piece unique from the next.

High quality, stress-free float glass is able to withstand a high load capacity. Glass is extremely hard by nature. Metal objects, of brass or silver will not cause scratches or abrasions to any GHYCZY glass material. Scratches can occur through porcelain or pottery. It is always recommended that any glass tables that feature clamping should be lifted when moved, and never dragged or pulled across a floor.
