Mid-20th-Century Willy Guhl Cauldron Planter - 19"

This fiberstone planter, designed by renowned Swiss designer Willy Guhl, exemplifies mid-20th-century craftsmanship with its striking form and material. It takes the shape of a traditional cauldron, complete with elegantly curved handles and sturdy tripod legs. The surface exhibits a beautifully weathered patina that adds to its rustic charm, indicating both age and authenticity, and making it a captivating addition to any garden or patio.

Willy Guhl was a trailblazer in using industrial materials for architectural and garden design, and his work with Eternit in Switzerland was particularly innovative. Throughout the 1950s and '60s, Guhl's designs became synonymous with modernist simplicity and functionality. His planters, such as this one, are celebrated for their durability and timeless aesthetic, reflecting a period when form and function were seamlessly integrated.

Original planters by Willy Guhl are known to be made with asbestos - therefore we advise that they are displayed outside or in a well-ventilated room. The patina mustn't be modified
