Concrete planter by Willy Guhl

This object is a vintage concrete planter (also called a jardinière or bowl), designed by the renowned Swiss architect and designer Willy Guhl. Features and Details Designer: Willy Guhl (1915-2004), a pioneer of industrial design in Switzerland. Manufacturer: This object is made of fiber cement, a material that was innovative at the time due to its durability and light weight. Design: The model is known as the "Diabolo" or the "tilted" version. It often consists of two parts: a shallow bowl resting on a conical base, allowing the bowl to be positioned at different angles. Period: The designs date from the 1950s and 1960s. Condition: Examples like the one pictured often have a natural patina of moss and weathering, which is highly prized by collectors as part of their vintage appeal. Beautiful on the patio to fill with spring flowers. Large, generous size, so it can hold a lot. It can also be beautifully filled with all kinds of herbs, so you have everything close to your kitchen and it looks beautiful too.
