Crafted in fiber cement, this harmonious set of three square planters displays the quiet geometry and refined restraint characteristic of Willy Guhl work. Each piece bears a soft weathered surface, the result of decades of outdoor use, giving them a gentle patina and tactile presence. Their compact proportions and stamped production markings underscore the designer commitment to functional elegance within architectural garden design. Small: Height: 8 in. Width: 8 in. Depth: 8 in. Taller: Height: 8 in. Width: 10 in. Depth: 10 in.
