Peter Ghyczy coffee table

Coffee table by Peter Ghyczy made in the Netherlands in the 1970s in high quality 20 mm thick glass with chamfered edges in perfect condition, brass legs. The table can be easily shipped as the legs disassemble. For his first furniture collection, Ghyczy developed a new way of attaching glass to metal, resulting in a series of coffee tables, side tables and dining tables known as Pioneer series (1970). The technique used on the tables has since become ghyczy's signature and is reflected in particular by the delicate and floating appearance of the frameless glass, fixed by a single screw. About the designer he was born in budapest, hungary, in 1940. After political unrest, ghyczy's family fled budapest in 1956, first to vienna, then to bonn, germany. Ghyczy completed his secondary education in Germany, studying sculpture in Düsseldorf before studying architecture at the Technical University of Aachen in 1960, specializing in building engineering. He graduated in 1967, after writing his thesis on unconventional school buildings. During his studies, Ghyczy worked as an assistant to the famous German architect Rudolf Steinbach (1903-1966), and on projects in Paris and Egypt. In 1969 he became a German citizen.
