Meet the Maker
Kenko
Berlin, Germany
We never knew exercise equipment could be so eye-catching—until we met German maker Kenko, that is. Their minimalist design approach centers around geometric shapes and natural materials like wood and cork. (If you need us, we’ll be leaving our dumbbells out for all to see.)

Beautifully made and sturdy
The description is spot on – these are gorgeous hand weights. What I did not expect was the size of them, which is rather large (much taller than a standard hand weight in other materials). Regardless – these are highly designed and made from beautiful materials and worth the investment.

Beautiful product
I’d love though if there was a third heavier set. Yet it’s so pretty and elegant that can be left in sight everywhere.

Missing
The weights are very well made and nice, but there weren’t any resistance bands in the package. Nonetheless, I’m happy to have weights that don’t have to be hidden away.
