Femton: Workout Gear Made From Natural Materials

Industrial design student Ali Safa A. designed gear for working out that skips the typical metal equipment completely. Femton consists of four devices to help you get your fitness on, each made of natural materials. There’s an adjustable dumbbell made of ash and marble, which includes six cylinders with a maximum weight of 8.3 kg., a core wheel, two push-up barrels made of ash, and a hemp jump rope.

Typical workout equipment is pretty unsightly, which is why we tend to keep it hidden away. Femton is designed to become a part of your home’s decor, always in view, in hopes of reminding you to use it.
