This striking pair of Willy Guhl “Molar” planters—crafted for Eternit in the 1960s—embodies the bold sculptural geometry that defines the Swiss designer’s most iconic work. Each planter features Guhl’s characteristic biomorphic silhouette: a sweeping, four-pointed form that rises and dips in continuous curves, creating an elegant cradle for planting.
Constructed from Eternit fiber cement, the planters have developed a soft, weathered patina from decades of outdoor use, giving them the exact surface character that collectors seek in vintage Guhl pieces. The architectural presence of the Molar form makes these planters equally at home in contemporary gardens, minimal interiors, or as stand-alone sculptural objects.
Rarely found as a matched pair, these planters offer a powerful visual statement—symmetrical yet organic, modernist yet playful.
Availability: Sold individually or as a pair
