In our modern society, primarily older people have the time to work in the garden. Discovering that the back, bending down and the wrist are weak points of older people in the garden, BACU was born: An extending element, which consists, inspired by the crutch, out of an armrest and a handle.It stabilizes the gardener in his movement, allows him to work without bending by extending his reach and protects his wrists by transferring the weight from the hand to the forearm.

The result, BACU (from lat. baculum: crutch), is an exploration of the interaction between gardener and tool, a suggestion to rethink the existing methods of gardening and combine it to something new.
