The Loop Chair by Willy Guhl: A Mid-Century Classic with Timeless Design Value

When it comes to iconic furniture designs, few are as recognizable as the Loop Chair by Swiss designer Willy Guhl. Created in 1954, this sculptural chair is an example of timeless design that continues to inspire designers and furniture enthusiasts to this day.

The Loop Chair was designed using a single sheet of fibre cement board, which was bent and connected at its ends to create a continuous loop. The resulting chair is impressively simple, yet elegant and functional at the same time. Its unique shape and material make it perfect for outdoor use, as fibre cement is weather-resistant and durable.

Willy Guhl's Loop Chair was a trailblazing design that helped establish fibre cement as a viable material for furniture and outdoor design elements. Eternit, the company that Guhl worked with to produce the chair, has since become known for its high-quality fibre cement products and continues to collaborate with designers to create innovative and sustainable design solutions.

The Loop Chair has been featured in countless design exhibitions and is now considered a classic of mid-century modern design. It's been replicated and reinterpreted by other designers over the years, but the original design remains an enduring symbol of Swiss design excellence.

If you're looking to add a touch of timeless elegance to your outdoor space, consider investing in a Loop Chair. Its simple yet striking design will make a statement in any setting and its durability ensures it will last for years to come.
