Willy Guhl
Overview
Rare and unique large trough planters by Swiss architect and industrial design pioneer Willy Guhl for Eternit, Switzerland circa 1960s. All are in a white and aged paint with perfect patina.

Factory drilled drainage holes in the bottom of each planter. Both stand on 2 ridge feet at the base to allow for drainage underneath. Perfect width for narrow spaces as well as a good weight and depth allowing for larger plants. Priced individually. 8 available.

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.
