Concrete planters

Nicolas Le Moigne / Eternit

Price awaiting confirmation

Nicolas Le Moigne is a name to watch. The young Swiss designer, who graduated last year from ECAL, teamed up with his former college to design a series of outdoor elements, which were unveiled at Salone. Made from Eternit, a compound of cement and fibres, the planters and stools have all the rigidity you'd expect of their concrete material but on second glance a delicacy of form and detail that belies their industrial aesthetic. Le Moigne has exploited the fibrous element in the material to give a scaled, weathered appearance to the planters, like soft stone that’s been worn away over the years.
