1950s Willy Guhl Eternit Fiber Cement Trough Planter

Dimensions: 39"W x 8.25"D x 7"H
Origin: France, 1950s 

A pair of iconic mid-century trough planters designed by Swiss architect Willy Guhl for Eternit. Crafted from durable fiber cement, these minimalist planters embody Guhl's celebrated balance of functional design and sculptural simplicity. Their elongated form, subtle horizontal ribbing, and beautifully weathered patina make them equally suited for contemporary, traditional, and garden settings.

Originally designed for both residential and commercial landscapes, these versatile planters are ideal for boxwoods, herbs, seasonal plantings, or small olive trees. Decades of natural aging have softened the surfaces, creating the sought-after character that only time can produce.

Whether used as architectural garden elements or as statement pieces indoors, these authentic Willy Guhl planters remain timeless examples of Swiss modernist design.
