Diabolo planter by Anton Bee and Willy Guhl for Eternit Switzerland 1950

In 1951, eternity ag sought to collaborate with external designers and asked willy guhl and his students to work on new. Plants. Eternit, developed for the manufacture of roofs and pipes, is a stable product with a fibrous texture resistant to tension, breakage and variation. Which contains 10% asbestos. Known since ancient times, asbestos is then reexploited in an innovative way by industry. For guhl, "no. Construction used so finely does not give as much stability as the eternit". In good condition, some visible signs of wear.
