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

In 1951, Eternity AG was looking to collaborate with external designers and asked Willy Guhl and his students to work on new plant containers. Eternit, developed for the manufacture of roofs and pipes, is a stable product with a fibrous texture that is resistant to traction, breaking and climatic variations, and contains 10% asbestos. Known since ancient times, asbestos is now being re-used in innovative ways by industry. For Guhl, "no construction material used so finely gives as much stability as Eternit".

Good condition, some wear visible.
