About the Item

This item expresses a specific rawness. There is no need for precise execution or the desire to appear sophisticated. It is simple, self-evident, and direct. It is made out of basic elements, illustrating a new language: essential and cleared of everything irrelevant. Sculptural qualities define this object. A vivid dynamic between the different volumes and surfaces presents its expressive form. The square planter, designed by Bruno Rey, was manufactured as limited edition by Eternit AG, Switzerland, in ca. 1954. Item is made of Eternit. Solid pot is standing on thin tubular legs made of steel. Alive in the matter of material, it also reminds of a living organism, an insect, due to its proportions and relationship of the pot and the legs. It is a dismantlable piece which consist of three elements – the legs, the pot and the plate underneath it. The item is in its original condition. No additional restoration was made and patina is completely preserved. I see this charming piece as a detail with a strong character for both interior and exterior spaces. P! Galerie’s selection is mainly focused on design masterpieces between 1918 and 1970. Apart from rare French mid-century modern design artefacts by Pierre Jeanneret, Jean Prouvé, Le Corbusier, and Charlotte Perriand, our offer includes masterpieces of historic importance and value by Gerrit Rietveld, Lina Bo Bardi, Marcel Breuer, Oscar Niemeyer, or, for example, Eileen Gray. Following all ethical and juridical requirements, all items from our carefully curated collection come with a certificate of authenticity. We try to preserve as much of patina as possible during the process of restoration, as it defines these historic pieces. Not only do we cooperate with museums and offer auction houses our services and expert opinion, we also look forward to welcoming you as a private collector and connoisseur.
