Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Stoyka is a power rack for the modern home designed to look like high-end furniture, merging the home gym with storage capabilities. The storage system is integrated into the power rack, which slides out from behind the power rack’s rear wall. The system provides enough storage space to store the power rack’s barbells, round weighted plates, as well as rack accessories like support beams and spotter’s arms. It is equipped with reinforced racks, a crossbar, and removable wall bars.
- Inspiration
- Physical activity is one of the most important aspects affecting the formation of ecological thinking and a healthy lifestyle. Since physical fitness has become integral to our daily routines, the purpose behind the Stoyka aims to strike a balance in using living spaces as fitness studios.

It was important not to complicate the object, to make it simple, compact, safe to use, and convenient to maintain cleanliness.
