Orte by Giulio Iacchetti, an industrial designer based in Milan, Italy, is a collection of gardening tools. But unlike traditional ones, these have been given a modern update in order to inspire those who never considered it before to grow a green thumb and get their hands dirty.
Made up of three handheld tools, the designs featured in Orte by Giulio Iacchetti are minimalist, that it is hard for anyone to not appreciate them. The hoe, rake and shovel come with a wooden base that acts as their home when not in use. According to Design Milk, "The laser cut tools are painted in muted tones that reference the great outdoors." This includes green, brown and beige.
