H-O-TT envisions furniture that turns into exercise equipment



Table legs double up as dumbbells and stools as push-up bars in this conceptual collection of furniture by Amsterdam design studio H-O-TT.
Called Furfit, it proposes five ways that common gym equipment could be merged with furniture, in a bid to open the benefits of at-home workouts up to those living in small spaces.

According to H-O-TT founder Luca Beltrame, the idea came about during coronavirus lockdown, when homes took on the role of makeshift offices and gyms.
"Living in a typical Dutch apartment, the space to work out wasn't generous, so we started to think about a way to upscale our living room and find an active use for the pieces of furniture that were otherwise limiting our movements," he told Dezeen. "It's a way of transforming limitations into potential, simply achieving more with less."

The Iasius high stool, for example, can be simply turned on its side and used as a curl barbell, with its distinctive, sinuous handle doing double duty as a decorative element.
Five pairs of dumbbells between two and five kilograms form the legs of the Heracles coffee table, their weight signified by their colour and diameter, which can be seen from above.
