Willy Guhl Off-Kilter Planters
Pair of off-kilter planters, designed by Willy Guhl for Eternit. A playful take on the classic diabolo form, these tilted garden planters are sculpted from robust fibrous cement. Beautifully weathered with a patina that includes moss speckling at the lip, they make striking vessels in any garden setting. Strong and durable, they exemplify Guhl’s innovative approach to outdoor design. Switzerland, 1960s.
