Creator: Willy Guhl - Eternit, SA
Offered by: OAK Oneofakind Gallery

Description
Set of 3 original garden chairs made of Eternit, a material made of fibre-reinforced cement, folded in a loop.
These armchairs have never been used outdoors and have few signs of wear

The Loop chairs were designed by the famous Swiss architect Willy Guhl.
These chairs are a true demonstration of Guhl’s artistic vision, combining minimalist aesthetics with functionality.
One of the distinguishing features of the Loop chairs is their striking shape.
The looping design is a masterpiece of simplicity, creating a visual appeal that commands attention.
The smooth curves and clean lines of the chairs create a fluid feel, making them a perfect choice for contemporary or minimalist spaces.
Guhl’s attention to detail also shines through in the comfort of the chairs.
Despite their minimalist design, the Loop chairs offer adequate support and ergonomic seating.
The curved shape of the buckle provides excellent lumbar support, allowing for extended sitting without sacrificing comfort.
The versatility of the Loop chairs is also remarkable.
They can be used as stand-alone centerpieces or integrated into a larger seating package.
Their neutral color options make them easy to incorporate into different design styles, from modern interiors to outdoor spaces, adding a touch of sophistication and elegance.
Willy Guhl’s Loop chairs are a true work of art that elevates any space.
With their sleek design, durability, comfort, and versatility, these chairs are a must-have for design lovers who appreciate the beauty of functional art.

What is Fiber Cement?
Fiber Cement is a mixture of Portland cement, reinforcing fibers, air, and water. Initially moldable, the material slowly solidifies into a water and humidity resistant form.
