About the Item
Monumental French Cement Planter — 1950s
Sculptural and striking, this oversized French cement planter dates to the 1950s and measures an impressive 48" in diameter and 19" tall. Its gently contoured bowl rests on a tapered base, exuding a confident, mid-century industrial elegance. Decades of outdoor exposure have imparted a rich patina, with soft abrasions and muted discolorations that only time can produce.
Whether anchoring a garden, framing an entry, or serving as a dramatic focal point in an interior scheme, this planter offers both functionality and sculptural presence. Its generous scale welcomes bold plantings, while the weathered surface adds depth and character.
A singular piece that evokes post-war French design sensibilities—where utility meets artistry.

Willy Guhl 31" Adjustable 2 Piece Concrete Planter, Switzerland, 1960's

Iconic Willy Guhl Planter for Eternit, 1960s – A Cement Celebrity
Here we go again, folks—another jaw-dropping Willy Guhl planter for Eternit, straight from the 1960s and brimming with all those modernist vibes. This two-piece stunner is serving serious I-woke-up-like-this energy with its perfectly imperfect patina that whispers, “I’ve seen some things, darling.” Sure, you could scrub it down to look fresh-out-of-the-box new, but why? This weathered look is like vintage leather or a classic movie star—it gets better with age, and trust us, nobody is asking for a makeover.
The planter features Guhl’s signature silhouette: a big, bold bowl (31.25" in diameter!) resting atop a truncated cone base. It’s modular magic—position the bowl flat and grounded, or tilt it just so for that effortlessly off-kilter, “yes, I have a design degree” aesthetic. As shown here, it measures a statuesque 16" tall, just the right height to command attention without stealing the limelight from your botanical besties.
Whether gracing a sunny patio, lounging poolside at a Hollywood mansion, or bringing its rugged-chic charm indoors, this planter is pure Swiss sophistication. It’s not just a planter; it’s a moment.
Who Was Willy Guhl?
Oh, you haven’t heard? Willy Guhl (1915–2004) was the OG of modern outdoor design. This Swiss genius pioneered the use of fiber cement, creating pieces that were as indestructible as they were elegant. His work with Eternit was groundbreaking (literally), marrying sculptural forms with functional durability. Guhl believed design should live harmoniously with nature—a philosophy you’ll see in every timeless curve and tilt of his creations.
TL;DR: This planter is everything you want—chic, rare, collectible, and packed with history. Snag it now, because let’s face it, everyone else wants it too. 🌵
