Overview

Fantastic cement bowls by Swiss architect Willy Guhl for Eternit. Very unusual size in 23" diameter. Most bowls start at a much larger 31" diameter and are only to be used outdoors due to size.

These are perfect indoors as a tabletop bowl or planter. Also great as a catchall by the door or in the kitchen. Stunning patina and age to each bowl. Very good vintage condition. 3 available. Priced individually.

Designer Notes

Willy Guhl

b. 1915

Willy Guhl was a Swiss industrial designer, who in the mid-20th century pioneered the application of utilitarian materials, notably concrete, in modern outdoor furniture design, such as his in the design of his iconic Loop Chair. Guhl became renowned for his use of fiber-reinforced concrete, a composite material that combines cement with fibers to enhance strength and durability. His designs, marked by clean lines and functional elegance, reflect a commitment to both beauty and use. Guhl's design and creative use of materials contributed to a redefinition of the aesthetic and functional possibilities of concrete in design during the mid-20th century.
