Dig into nature

There is a great deal more to nature than you would see or hear at first glance. Those who zoom into it will discover a whole new world. Michiel Martens has created a set of tools that can help the senses by magnifying an experience. The enormous wooden ‘ear trumpet’ will help you prick up your ears and capture sounds that would normally be gone with the wind. A ‘monster scoop’ literally digs deep into the ground to unearth and sift through the creepy crawlies living beneath the surface. Martens has created drawings of an additional 100 ideas. Dig into nature adds a new dimension to experiencing nature.
