Unknown, Sweden
Materials:
Powder-coated steel
Notes:
Garden hand tools with the right weight. Summertime, the holes in the handle combined with the cool iron feel great on your garden-work-sore hands. The red color prevents you from losing sight of them unless they are dropped among your dear red poppies. My sister said no real gardner would use these because they don't provide any cushion. Well, I think of myself as a real gardner, even though I am city-folk and I use them! She's a softy! Good in the sandbox too! Made by a small factory in central Sweden who still believes in local production and entrepreneurship. They have been producing the design since they opened in 1976 and have made 4 million pieces since then! Not bad...
