Vintage 1960s Willy Guhl Fibre-Cement Bowl Planter for Eternit
A beautiful example of mid-century architectural garden design: the large low bowl planter, designed by the iconic Swiss industrial modernist Willy Guhl for Eternit. This minimalist piece showcases Guhl’s ability to take industrial fibre cement and form it into perfectly balanced, functional outdoor sculpture.
This bowl has acquired a magnificent naturally aged patina across its shallow, wide-brimmed surface, with tonal variations, light mineral deposits and subtle weathering from decades of outdoor exposure.
Good vintage condition with exceptional natural weathering. The fibre cement structure remains solid and stable. Authentic surface wear, hairline surface texturing, light staining and minor nibbles around the rim are consistent with outdoor use from this period. Features original factory-drilled drainage holes at the centre base.
