Why has the Provendi Wall Soap become such an enduring symbol of French design and craftsmanship? Because it combines practicality, hygiene, and timeless style in one simple, ingenious object.
The Original Provendi Wall Arm, first created for French schools (it is also known as Savon Ecolier) and workshops in the 1950s, was designed to keep soap off wet surfaces — allowing it to dry quickly, last longer, and remain clean between uses.
This Cedar Soap contains fine particles of apricot kernel and is enriched with natural glycerin to exfoliate and restore suppleness. The Cedar Fragrance is blended in Grasse giving a floral, oriental and woody scent.
The Provendi soap is hand pressed and finished with a tube through the middle that aids smooth rotation of the soap on the unit, when the soap is used this can be put into the recycle bin. We have a range of refill rotating soaps that can be added to your wall unit from Provendi and other savonneries. All of the refill soaps that we offer fit all of the wall units.
Bronze-finish wall-mounted arm, with matching screws & raw plugs for easy installation.

Originally seen in French schools and public washrooms, the Provendi wall soap quickly became a design classic. Its clever wall-mounted system — elegant in its simplicity — has found a place in stylish homes, hotels, and kitchens worldwide. Today, it stands as a model of sustainable, low-waste design: practical, long-lasting, and beautiful in use.
More than a soap holder, the Provendi Wall Arm is a piece of living history — a functional object that tells the story of everyday French craftsmanship.
The Cedar Soap offers a balanced, plant-based formula made with sustainable palm and coconut oils, natural apricot seed exfoliant, and nourishing sweet almond oil. The blend offers gentle cleansing, hydration, and light exfoliation while respecting both skin and environment. Fully biodegradable, RSPO-certified, and free from microplastics or harsh additives.

Created in the 1950s, on the shores of Lake Geneva, Laboratoire Provendi became famous thanks to a simple idea: to have a soap that is always dry and close at hand. Their wall-mounted soap holder and rotating soaps have equipped thousands of bathrooms, hotels, homes and schools ever since.
There are copies, however at French Soaps we are yet to find any wall arms that match the quality of the original.
Laboratoire Provendi has evolved as a brand and are leaders in Marseille Liquid Soap too.
We stock the full range of la Provendei Wall arms and rotating soaps.
We also stock other brands of Rotating soap that fit the wall arms.
