WILLY GUHL SOUP SAUCER PLANTER
An iconic 'Soup Cup' Tilted Saucer Planter by Swiss Architect Willy Guhl for Eternit. This lovely planter with decades of European patina sourced from a French estate is equally beautiful indoors or out as a stand alone sculpture. I love them on a tabletop in a conservatory or set by a gate in the corner of the garden. The design is highly versatile and complements modern or traditional decor.
Dimensions: 10.5H x 25Dia inches.

Shown in a conservatory room designed by the art advisory & interiors firm Art/artefact featuring art by the Danish painter Lars Ly. Kindly note, collection of limestone balls not included, but available for purchase separately.

Willy Guhl (1915 – 2004) was a Swiss furniture, product and interior designer who excelled at a modern neo-functional aesthetic. He was an unconventional industrial designer who experimented with new materials and forms. His series of mid-century planters based on that early material were wonderfully modern and weather-resistant - produced by the Swiss company Eternit.
This authentic vintage sculpture was manufactured by Eternit, a Swiss garden furniture and object company. Ours is a large example in excellent vintage condition and has wonderful patina to the original white paint from many years of enjoyment in an established garden on a French estate.
