A testament to Willy Guhl's mastery of sculptural concrete, these original marmite planters embody the Swiss designer's genius for transforming industrial materials into organic poetry. The voluptuous bulbous form swells outward from its tripod base—three sturdy legs anchoring the generous belly that mimics ancient cooking vessels. Twin handles curve gracefully from the rounded shoulders, their hollow forms creating perfect counterpoints to the pot's substantial mass. Decades of weathering have transformed the original concrete into a living canvas of lichen and patina, where moss finds purchase in textured surfaces and mineral stains create abstract artwork that no human hand could replicate. Made popular in recent years by big name designers, these are incredible indoors to house your favorite plant or tree.
Sold individually. Unmarked.
