Hour-Glass shaped Planter in Fiber Cement with Iron Base, Willy Guhl

Creator: Willy Guhl
Offered by: Found Collectibles

Description
This iconic hourglass planter by Swiss designer Willy Guhl is crafted from durable fiber cement, a material celebrated for its strength, weather resistance, and timeless sculptural quality. Designed in the 1960s, Guhl’s planters have become highly collectible pieces of modern garden design, admired for their elegant curves and minimalist architectural form.

The planter features Guhl’s signature hourglass silhouette, creating a striking presence whether used indoors or outdoors. Its original patina and textured surface highlight the natural aging of the material, adding character and authenticity. The piece rests on a metal support base, ensuring stability and elevating the planter to showcase plants beautifully.

Perfect for gardens, terraces, entryways, or contemporary interiors, this vintage Willy Guhl planter brings a refined, modernist touch to any space. A rare and sought-after example of mid-century European design.
