# Modern Prehistoric Axes Dov Ganchrow and Ami Drach's Collection 'Man-Made' is Breathtaking By M | Published 2014-06-04 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dov-ganchrow References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/technology/man-made-contemporary-prehistoric-hand-axes-dov-ganchrow-05-30-2014/) & [amidov](http://www.amidov.com/) Designers Ami Drach and Dov Ganchrow teamed up to create a beautiful tribute to the tools of prehistoric eras with these stunning contemporary hand axes featured in a collection fittingly titled, 'Man Made.' The 'Man Made' collection features a series of various tool artifacts that have been given a contemporary twist. The blades of the axes and hammers have all been made to look like traditionally carved rocks dating back to the stone age. The blades have a distinctly worn and rusted look. The handles of the antiquated tools have been given a modern twist with 3D-printed white handles that cleverly encircle the prehistoric-looking rock blades. The juxtaposition of a plastic-looking material with a natural rock one creates a striking visual.
