Ease of use and friendly design make the Stoyka relevant for people of all ages and genders. With steel accents and an inconspicuous design, Stoyka blends into any living room when not in use, also the closed storage system facilitates the cleaning process.
- Research
- During the research, the team conducted interviews with trainers and users of fitness centers, studied the experience of the world's best manufacturers in this area, and worked out several use cases, which helped to form Stoyka’s core.
- 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. We have rethought the design of a home gym and transformed it so that its appearance does not cause rejection, but is perceived as something natural and organic. It was important not to complicate the object, to make it simple, compact, safe to use, and convenient to maintain cleanliness.
