This classic Willy Guhl Cone Planter, designed in the 1950s for Eternit, is one of the most iconic silhouettes in mid-century European garden design. The tapered geometry—rising from a narrow, grounded base to a wide, open rim—creates a clean architectural form that feels both modern and timeless.
Made in Guhl’s signature Eternit fiber cement, each planter carries a softly weathered patina from decades outdoors: muted grays, mineral veining, and gentle surface variation that enhance its sculptural presence. The cone’s proportions naturally elevate whatever is planted inside, making it ideal for expressive specimens—agaves, large succulents, caudex plants, or dramatic indoor foliage.
These work beautifully as standalone pieces or in multiples for a strong architectural rhythm across a garden or entry.
