Drop Forged Garden Tools
Industrial Design
2024
I was commissioned by the in-house design team at British gardening tool manufacturer Kent & Stowe, to support by designing a new set of secateurs and anvil cutters. I began the design phase with concept sketching, I later developed the designs in 3D CAD, finessing the form through several stages of iteration. The drawing were finally issued for manufacture by the in house team, after prototyping and testing.
The tools were designed with a human centred approach, ensuring excellent ergonomics and function. They have been in mass production since 2025.
