About Willy Guhl
Willy Guhl (1915–2004) was a Swiss designer known for his pioneering use of Eternit, a fibre cement material that allowed him to create lightweight and sculptural forms. Trained at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Zurich, he combined technical knowledge with a direct approach to material.
His designs, particularly for outdoor use, are defined by their simplicity, durability, and strong silhouette. Pieces such as the Loop Chair and his planters show how the material could be shaped into clear, functional forms.
