Willy Guhl Cone Planter

The Willy Guhl Cone Planter WG 129 - FG101.N sits high off the floor on three thin metal legs. This high clearance allows the ground to remain fully visible, making the broad stone basin appear suspended in the middle of the room. By keeping the floor area open, the design prevents the wide footprint from closing off the space or acting as a solid obstruction.

Sun-bleached cream tones cover the exterior, showing a distinct, fine-mesh grit along the uneven rim. Inside the bowl, the pale stone gives way to deep grey weathering and faint, dark pink mineral streaks along the curve. The supporting iron frame, covered in dark oxidation and deep brown rust, provides a sharp color break that makes the light-colored shell stand out.

Placed near a frameless glass entryway, the unpolished shell introduces a raw, earthy texture next to the transparent surfaces. In a large gravel garden, the hovering basin provides a sharp geometric contrast to the loose stones below. Set against dark architectural concrete, the pale cream stone and rusted base bring an immediate warmth to the cool, grey environment.
