Large Willy Guhl Round Jardinière - 42½"

This very large jardinière, attributed to Willy Guhl (1915–2004), captures the refined simplicity and sculptural elegance of Guhl's designs. Crafted from lightweight fiber cement, its wide, shallow bowl form is both bold and graceful, featuring a weathered patina that speaks to decades of outdoor use. The softly eroded surface and natural mineral tones give the piece a timeless, organic quality, while its generous scale makes it a rare and impactful find. In good vintage condition, it shows just the right amount of wear to emphasize its authentic character.

A pioneer in modern garden furnishings Swiss designer Willy Guhl worked extensively in the 1950s and 1960s with Eternit, developing durable, weather-resistant forms that redefined outdoor aesthetics. His work, celebrated for its balance of utility and beauty, continues to inspire contemporary garden and interior design.
