Pair Of Mid-20th-Century Willy Guhl Diabolo Planters - 25¼"

This pair of striking planters, attributed to Willy Guhl, showcase the quintessential mid-20th-century modern aesthetic. They feature a distinctive hourglass silhouette with slightly tilted upper part, combining functionality with a sculptural elegance. Their minimalist design and muted tones emphasize the clean lines and organic form, with the material subtly showcasing its character through visible textures and light wear, lending authenticity and charm.

Willy Guhl, a Swiss designer prominent in the 1950s and 1960s, is celebrated for his innovative use of concrete in outdoor furniture. A pioneer in industrial design, Guhl employed crafting techniques that emphasized durability and sleekness, making his pieces highly sought after by collectors. This particular pair exemplifies his commitment to creating durable, yet aesthetically pleasing designs that withstand the test of time.

Original mid-century planters by Willy Guhl were made with asbestos - therefore we advise that they are displayed outside or in a well-ventilated room. The patina mustn't be modified.
