About the Item
A rare example of Swiss modernist design, this sculptural bench by Willy Guhl features a gracefully curved seat in fiber cement supported by a continuous tubular iron base with original patina. Guhl's use of industrial materials and minimalist forms reflect his commitment to honest construction and functional beauty. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, the bench is an iconic representation of post-war European design with timeless architectural appeal.
