Here's some more from the designer:
The project approaches garden tools from a material, aesthetic, and functional investigative perspective.

The bulk of my 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 working approach of the tools.

In addition, I conducted a formal investigation into developing the shape of the blades – both in the design and in the bending process.

The project includes six final objects: sickle, axe/machete, spade, shovel, scythe and bow saw.
