The Iconic Rotating Soap Wall Arm

The rotating soap wall arm most people recognise today was designed by Provendi in the 1950s with a simple brief: to have a soap that is always dry and close at hand.

Originally developed for French schools, the design kept soap hygienic, secure and always available for use throughout the day.

Where Rotating Soap Wall Arms Are Used

Rotating soap wall arms were originally developed for French schools, where large numbers of children needed reliable access to soap throughout the day. The simple design kept the soap secure, hygienic and always available for use.

Today the same practical holder is widely used beside kitchen sinks, in workshops, garden sheds and utility rooms, as well as in gastro-pubs, bistros and cafés where a durable, mess-free soap solution is needed behind the sink.

We also supply rotating soap holders to primary schools in the UK, where the design remains valued for the same reasons it was adopted decades ago: reliability, hygiene and simplicity.

Simple Installation, Standard Fixings

Each rotating soap wall arm is supplied with a mounted soap bar and colour-matched screws with raw plugs for fixing directly to the wall.

Once installed, the arm remains in place and the soap is simply replaced when the bar is finished.

Compatible rotating soaps from several French producers fit the same stainless steel stem.

French Soaps UK also stocks replacement soaps and spare parts for the Provendi arms.
