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

In 1951, Eternity AG collaborated with designers and asked Willy Guhl and his students to work on new plant containers. Eternit, developed for the manufacture of roofs and pipes, a stable product with a fibrous texture resistant to traction and climatic variations which contains 10% asbestos. Known since antiquity, asbestos was then reused in innovative ways by the industry. For Guhl, «no construction material used so finely gives as much stability as Eternit.»
