Garden Tools

Itay Lanido / Itay Laniado

from €300

We're not known for getting our hands dirty, but these garden tools by Israeli designer Itay Laniado have us itching to start our own co-op farm. There's a pleasing agrarian roughness about the set that includes a machete, shovel, spade and bow saw. But Laniado has done more than create pretty tools that look good propped up against the shed -- there is also a healthy dose of common sense practicality in his designs that promise great things for the future. The scythe for instance can be quickly dissembled for safe storage, but more ingenius is a groove in the handle into which is wedged a sharpening stone for use in the field.
