Overview

Gigantic tree planter by the Swiss design house Eternit. Very difficult to find vintage planters large enough to plant and hold a large tree. This would make a wonderful and functional piece for your home or garden. The planter features beautiful limestone colors on its exterior, and is stamped to indicate its creation date, serial number and origin. Two larger Willy Guhl tree planters available in other listings. Final two photos show the three largest tree planters for scale.

Designer Notes
In the Style of 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.
