Characterized by its elegant double-cone spindle form, the planter features a wide, shallow upper basin that tapers inward at the center before flaring outward into a broad, stable base. The balanced geometry and sculptural silhouette reflect Guhl’s mastery of proportion and his innovative approach to industrial materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1577\" data-start=\"1077\"\u003eCrafted from heavy fiber cement (Eternit), this planter was engineered for both durability and aesthetic clarity. The surface exhibits a rich, naturally developed patina consistent with decades of outdoor exposure, including mineral staining, lichen remnants, subtle surface wear, and light hairline cracking. These elements enhance the sculptural quality and confirm its authenticity as a vintage garden piece. A central drainage hole is present within the basin, reinforcing its functional purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1972\" data-start=\"1579\"\u003eThe understated gray tone and architectural profile make this Spindel planter highly versatile, suitable for modern gardens, brutalist landscapes, terraces, or as a sculptural focal point in an interior setting. As a genuine Willy Guhl design, this piece is highly sought after by collectors and designers alike, representing a timeless intersection of form, function, and material innovation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1972\" data-start=\"1579\"\u003eDimensions: 19\" diam. x 18\" H\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HOMMES + GARDENS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45635646619845,"sku":null,"price":1875.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/5287\/7765\/files\/Willy_Guhl_Spindel_Planter_Swiss_Fiber_Cement_Garden_Sculpture.jpg?v=1768484876","url":"https:\/\/hommesandgardens.com\/products\/willy-guhl-spindel-planter-swiss-fiber-cement-garden-sculpture","provider":"Hommes + Gardens","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
