Willy Guhl (1915–2004) was a pioneering Swiss designer celebrated for his innovative work with materials and commitment to functional, minimalist design. Best known for his use of cement fiber, particularly in his iconic Loop Chair, Guhl’s work broke new ground in outdoor furniture design, combining durability with sleek, modern forms. Throughout his career, he experimented with sustainable, industrial materials, making significant contributions to mid-century modern design in Europe.

Guhl’s work has been featured in numerous important design exhibitions and is part of permanent collections in leading museums such as the Museum of Design Zurich. His influence on industrial design has earned him several accolades, and his creations continue to be showcased in retrospectives, highlighting his impact on functional and sustainable design principles. Today, Guhl’s designs remain highly sought after by collectors and are celebrated for their timeless quality and innovation.
