He was born in Budapest in 1940 and fled to Bonn after the suppression of the Hungarian uprising. After graduating from high school, he studied architecture with a focus on structural engineering at the Technical University in Aachen. He became an assistant to the well-known architect Prof. Rudolf Steinbach and worked in the plastics institute of the faculty. He began his famous career with a thesis on new types of school architecture.
In 1968 he took on a managerial position at Elastogran in Lemförde as a freelancer, where he was responsible for the development of polyurethane products. Here Peter Ghyczy developed numerous innovative designs that identify him as one of the most productive designers of those years.
In 1970, at a time when plastic architecture itself was an innovation, a building made entirely of polyurethane also opened here: the Design Center. It was designed entirely according to Ghyczy's design.

Ghyczy's international reputation is timelessly reflected in one model: the garden egg from 1968, the first foldable armchair of the design development.

The GDR had this Ghyczy design produced by the VEB synthesis plant in Schwarzheide in Senftenberg. The exact number is unknown. As the "Senftenberger Egg", it became a coveted collector's item in the art scene of the late 1990s and was often incorrectly referred to as GDR design.
