Early 20th Century Primitive Terracotta Water Vessel from Mexico

About the Item

Rare pair of 1960s triangular concrete planters designed by Swiss neo-functionalist and Industrial Design Pioneer Willy Guhl for Eternit in Switzerland. Each multifaceted planter can be arranged in a multitude of ways. Each triangle sits atop concrete ball feet with a small indented platform. All pieces marked with factory stamps/numbers within the concrete. Painted a darker grey by the previous owner, the patina has aged over the years exposing the raw, whiter concrete beneath. A beautiful and functional sculpture for both indoors or outside. Sold as a set of 2. Large planter dimensions: 16.25" x 18.5" x 16.25" Small planter dimensions: 16.25" x 18.5" x 12".
