Louis Benech :
Jardins du Roi Soleil : timeless know-how
For Louis Benech, the internationally renowned gardener and landscape designer, the orange planters from Les Jardins du Roi Soleil are simply essential:
“I work exclusively with this product. A timeless classic that endures and fits seamlessly into both historical and contemporary settings.”
To him, these boxes are perfectly proportioned, combining strength with elegance. “This mobile container, originally designed to easily move plants that needed to be sheltered in winter, has today become a centerpiece of the garden—even for plants that remain outdoors.”
What makes them unique? “Nothing has been altered since their last original design, apart from the base. All copies fall short: clumsy proportions, wood that decays too quickly.”
Even as tastes evolve, his conviction remains unchanged:
“I see nothing to improve. These boxes are already timeless.”

Jardins du Roi Soleil : Heritage and contemporary elegance
Nina von Rechenberg, interior designer of the Baur au Lac, Zurich’s iconic hotel, speaks out “we recognize in Jardins du Roi Soleil a craftsmanship that is both timeless and refined—perfectly aligned with our philosophy of heritage meeting contemporary elegance”.
What inspires us most is their ability to turn history into creations of lasting beauty. Their unmistakable aesthetic, exceptional material quality, and French-made authenticity make each piece of Versailles orange planter a true icon of artisanal excellence.
Like our interiors—where history and modern flair come together with Art Deco, Louis XVI, and contemporary influences—Jardins du Roi Soleil reflects an elegance that feels meaningful, authentic, and enduring.

Jardins du Roi Soleil : Historical authenticity and transmission
We are not speaking here of mere reproductions: these are “genuine” objects, carrying a soul and a craftsmanship deeply rooted in the history of France.
The object becomes a witness of time, made to endure with the intent of being passed on, “just as one would with an oak frame, chosen for its nobility and longevity rather than for fast and inexpensive wood.”
“Many people have orange planters… Except there are THE planters, those of the gardens of the Château de Versailles… and then there are all the others.”
This choice of excellence and authenticity, confides this history enthusiast, led him to begin his historical renovation project… with the installation of the planters, even before redesigning the formal French garden. A powerful gesture, affirming from the very outset an intention and a historical anchor.
