Willy Guhl & Garden Days

Circa Auction presents Willy Guhl & Garden Days — the largest offering of Willy Guhl works ever to come to market. This historic sale features over 200 pieces by the visionary Swiss designer whose minimalist cement forms redefined postwar outdoor design. From the iconic Loop Chair to rare planters, vessels, and benches crafted from Guhl’s signature fiber cement, each piece exemplifies his belief that design should be timeless, elemental, and integrated with nature. Whether weathered by decades of outdoor use or preserved in pristine condition, these works hold an unmistakable patina and sculptural presence. Complementing this landmark collection is a curated selection of outdoor furnishings and garden pieces by other important European and American designers of yesteryear -- Charlotte Perriand, Jean Royere, Pierre Guariche, and Angelo Mangiarotti. A once-in-a-generation opportunity for collectors, designers, and landscape architects to acquire from the definitive Guhl collection.
