Vintage 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 plant containers. Eternit, developed for the production of roofs and pipes, is a stable product with a fibrous texture that is resistant to traction, breakage and climatic variations and contains 10 asbestos. Known since antiquity, asbestos is now being reused in innovative ways by industry. For Guhl, "no building material used so finely gives as much stability as Eternit".in good condition, some traces of wear due to age and use. Reference : 277408
