About the Item
An exceptional sculptural concrete garden chair in the manner of Swiss designer Willy Guhl, dating to the 1960s. This beautifully formed piece features the iconic organic shell seat rising from a tapered pedestal base, creating a timeless modern silhouette that bridges Brutalism and mid-century modern design.
Originally conceived for both seating and garden use, this example presents with its authentic aged patina, showcasing decades of outdoor character — weathering, surface mottling, and subtle mineral bloom consistent with original fiber-cement concrete forms of the era. The surface texture and organic imperfections lend the chair a soulful, architectural presence that only true vintage pieces possess. Layers of old paint has been removed. Some paint still remains. Some chip repair to base.
Perfectly scaled for a garden, atrium, sunroom, or as a dramatic sculptural statement indoors, this chair works equally well as functional seating or as a standalone art object. Its strong architectural form makes it ideal for modernist landscapes, Palm Springs-style courtyards, or minimalist interior environments.
A rare opportunity to acquire a true Willy Guhl–style concrete form with outstanding presence and authenticity.
