Over the past forty years, the GHYCZY collection has grown organically from Peter Ghyczy’s relentless creativity and innovative spirit. Peter’s designs are constantly evolving, but the collection is united by the trademarked casting and clamping techniques of solid material that he personally developed. These ground-breaking methods not only paved the way for new modernist design expressions, but also allowed for minimum use of material. Inspired by his travels and migration through central Europe, the distinct GHYCZY aesthetic captures Peter Ghyczy’s unique cultural heritage and his...

FAMILY OWNED SINCE 1971 GHYCZY [gitsi] was founded in 1971 by the acclaimed architect and designer Peter Ghyczy, who early in his career developed pioneering techniques of furniture making that have influenced the design industry for more than forty-five years. Today, GHYCZY is a family heirloom: Peter’s son, Felix, joined the business in 2001 and together the duo continues to build on the GHYCZY heritage from their family atelier nestled in the flatlands of Swalmen, the Netherlands. Though the collection initially launched in 1971 with a single item—the classic T09 table—today it includes...

M AT E R I A L S — Made with only the highest quality materials supplied by local producers, GHYCZY designs are made to outlast generations of use. GHYCZY crafts premium quality products with enduring constructions, and our designs use as little raw material as possible, ensuring minimal waste.

WO O D — GHYCZY carefully selects solid wood of German origin. The wood is ‘slow dried’, this is a natural process of drying the wood and takes at least 3 years. Wood 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. At GHYCZY we often combine casted metal with stainless steel...

We like to play and explore with new materials for our table tops. Granite and marble surfaces provided a lively natural characteristic. Alabaster is casted glass made by german craftsmen.

At GHYCZY we use natural silk for our main collection of lampshades. The silk is sourced from Paris. Touched by beauty of imperfection, the characteristics of natural silk transmit light beautifully. We have selected a soft tone palet to choose from. 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 glass. Scratches can occur through porcelain or pottery. It is recommended that any glass table that feature clamping should be lifted when moved, and never...

G H YC Z Y L I V I N G — To fully capture the aesthetic spirit of our brand, and showcase the versatility of our designs, every season we create several unique interiors that reveal our collection in different contexts.

Flexible but distinctive, GHYCZY always looks at home.
