Large Bowl Planter on Stand

Willy Guhl

Executed in Guhl signature fiber cement, this hemispherical planter reveals the sculptural purity of his modernist vocabulary. Its textured surface bears witness to the formwork casting process—a technique that defines Guhl's material aesthetic. Mounted on an integral stand, the piece combines functional horticultural design with the geometric restraint characteristic of mid-century Swiss modernism. The fiber cement construction, a material Guhl pioneered for outdoor furniture and planters, offers exceptional durability while maintaining the organic, hand-crafted quality central to his design philosophy.
