Overview

A substantial cone planter by Willy Guhl for Eternit, distinguished by its expansive bowl form and beautifully timeworn surface. Decades of exposure have softened the original finish, leaving behind layers of mineral deposits, moss, and weathered pigment that lend the piece a quiet, sculptural presence. The broad, flaring silhouette is characteristic of Guhl's approach to garden design—simple, architectural forms that become increasingly compelling with age. The surface variation, ranging from chalky ivory to earthy brown and muted green, creates a depth and texture impossible to reproduce artificially. Whether planted or left empty as a decorative object, the vessel functions as a focal point in both contemporary and traditional settings.

Several others in this size available in separate listings along with smaller ones.

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.
