This Willy Guhl Tilted Planter, designed in the 1950s for Eternit, is one of the most sculptural and expressive vessels in Guhl’s catalog. The wide, shallow bowl sits on an angled pedestal, creating a dynamic forward-leaning profile that shifts beautifully as you move around it. The form feels both architectural and organic—pure modernism with a quiet sense of motion.
Made from Guhl’s signature Eternit fiber cement, the surface carries a soft, naturally weathered patina: muted greys, mineral deposits, and gentle aging that give the piece its soulful, lived-in character. The tilted orientation makes it ideal for showcasing cascading or sculptural plantings—think caudex specimens, expressive succulents, or draping botanical compositions that float toward the viewer.
Highly collectible and instantly recognizable, the Tilted Planter remains one of Guhl’s most iconic and sought-after designs.
