Berry Picker

August 2020

Another week of Corona pandemic here in London and more people in the marshes than ever, as holidays abroad are canceled.

It’s also blackberry season and much more people picking them, leaving rarely any sweet and ripe ones in reachable distance.

So, I decided to design and carve this extension to be an arms-length ahead. The forage tool has a slot at the front, which hooks into the stem. You can then pull the berry off the bush and let it fall into it’s Pelican-shaped pocket. The handle is shaped to take the thumb, or a long stick for an extension if required.
