Swiss Willy Guhl Hourglass Diablo Planters

Swiss Willy Guhl Hourglass Diablo Planters (FK103-45, FK103-47, FK103-49) bring a sculptural hourglass silhouette that pinches at the waist, then opens into a wide mouth and a grounded base. Matte white paint softens the form, while age shows at the rim—small chips, worn edges, and glimpses of the warmer material beneath. The lip stays thin and slightly uneven, which keeps the line from feeling manufactured.

Across the set, heights move from 23" and 24 1/2" up to 31 1/2", so a trio reads like a paced arrangement instead of three matching objects. Inside, the surface shifts from white into bone, sand, and grey, with staining that feels earned and real. The texture stays dry and lightly pitted, with subtle marks that catch light at different angles.

Group all three to build a quiet rhythm on stone or concrete, where the white finish looks crisp without feeling bright. Use one as a single statement in an entry, or place the tallest behind the shorter two for an easy, layered composition. Even empty, the silhouette holds its own like a small piece of architecture.
