Description:
The pandemic has disrupted billions of lives, placing over a third of the world’s population under some form of lockdown. With leaving home being outlawed, closed gyms and no equipment at home, Frederic Gooris and his family has designed a set of eco gym equipment made by family, for family.
‘SWEAT [Simple Workout Exercises And Training]’ is primarily made of bamboo, inspired by its symbol of longevity and due to its durability, strength, flexibility, and resilience. It survives in the harshest conditions, is flexible in stormy weather, and stands tall against fierce winds – a wonderful reminder nothing lasts forever, including this pandemic.
