Eternit - Relax!

Relax! from the designers Stefan Stauffacher and Nicole Benz, more known as Design Studio StauffacherBenz, is the contour of a comfortable in the garden lying person. It reminds of weekends in green fields and invites to forget the everyday stress for a moment and to have a short breathe break.

Relax! is a two-piece bowl made of fibre cement. The pleasant object looks good on the private terrace or garden when it is planted with grass. On public places, the grass man makes passers-by smile. In the lobby of a hotel or in an office building Relax! receives visitors with an eye-wink.

Imagination knows no limits. On a lawn fill Relax! with pretty river gravel and create an island inside of the green. Or insert Relax! permanently in a grassy area or a hard surface. Tell your own Relax! story and make yourself and other friends a pleasant enjoyment!

Initially Relax! was part of the Nicole Benz’ dissertation. Thought as smile-object in public rooms, the work received an award in the year 2003 at the Ideas Competition for a sustainable city development for Zürich. In the year 2004 Relax! was part of the exposition “Design? Kunst?” in the Kunsthaus Langenthal. Eternit produces the pottery since 2006.

The Relax! Planting bowl from Eternit is also available in anthracite.
