Over the past forty years, the GHYCZY collection has grown organically from Peter Ghyczy’s relentless creativity and innovative spirit.

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 eclectic,...

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 tubing....

Metal objects of brass or silver will not cause scratches or abrasions to glass. Scratches can occur through porcelain or pottery.
