Simple, aesthetic and functional Garden Tools by Itay Laniado
Who says that bow saw, scythe and sickle time is gone with the wind? Who thinks that traditional garden tools cannot be object of contemporary design interpretation? Well, you are wrong. Israeli designer Itay Laniado disprove these theories with his Garden Tools collection.
Simple, aesthetic and functional – this is how the author describes his tools set. Their production have been proceeded by detailed research focused on the development of a technique of bending and stretching wood into functional forms while maintaining the simplicity, both of the production process and of the functional approach to the tools.
The result is adequately appreciated by the nomination in Design For All competition and by increasing popularity in gardens all around the world. The collection includes six objects: sickle, axe/machete, spade, shovel, scythe and bow saw. Each piece is created from wood (oak) and stainless-steel blades. Their ergonomic construction makes them simple in use without big energy outlay and they can be also easily disassembled for maintaining, transport or storage. Could a trendy gardener wish more?
