Overview

Rare vintage Willy Guhl Loop chair from Brazil. Perfect for indoors or outdoors as a great sculptural piece. Great as a poolside chair. This chair was designed by Willy Guhl in the early 1950's. Amazing patina but still in great vintage condition. Guhl's loop chairs are made from a single sheet of fiber cement, hand constructed over a wooden mold. Willy Guhl had already determined the ergonomically correct seat profile with his brother's help in 1947 using impressions in clay made by sitting test persons, which were then cast in plaster. Like a sculptor, Guhl then reworked the seating loop's radii, always with a mind to the economy of production and the structural and material requirements. Super unique and a very collectible piece of design.

Located at our Los Angeles showroom.

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.
