Vintage Willy Guhl Large Tilt Concrete Planter - Mid-Century Modern Sculpture
This vintage Willy Guhl shallow concrete bowl planter embodies the timeless elegance of Swiss mid-century modern design. Crafted in the 1960s–70s, the piece is part of Guhl’s celebrated work with Eternit, where he pioneered sculptural garden objects that balanced form, function, and durability. The wide, dish-like profile rests on a flared base, giving it a minimalist yet monumental presence. Its central drainage hole allows for practical use as a planter, while the shallow depth also makes it suitable as a birdbath or decorative centerpiece.
The surface carries a beautifully weathered patina, with mottled shades of grey, white, and earthy tones that reflect decades of natural aging outdoors. These signs of wear enhance its authentic charm, making it a striking addition to gardens, patios, or modern interiors. Whether used as a sculptural statement piece or a functional planter, this work reflects Willy Guhl’s philosophy of integrating modern design seamlessly into natural environments.
A true collectible for admirers of mid-century modern design and garden architecture.
