Introduce, however, the Plankpad to your exercise, and it has the miraculous ability to speed up time. What does it do? It distracts you from your timekeeping! The Plankpad gamifies exercise, turning it into a pastime. The board comes made from wood, with a rocking base. Just load one of Plankpad’s games onto your smartphone and place them on the Plankpad and begin your exercise. The game relies on your smartphone’s gyroscope to work, so you’re literally tilting the Plankpad left and right to control the game. Not only does this work your muscles more, it also distracts you from the activity itself, letting you, dare I say, enjoy your exercise. The Plankpad, with its solid construction, can even be used as a balance-board, while the game on your phone (still kept on the pad) can be beamed to a television, allowing you to work your muscles and play away, keeping score while working your core! Now this one has to be tried to be believed!

In a society where well-being is essential, Arceas brings sport and nature together. The structure, similar to a rocky waterfall allows to install handles on the higher part and a rower on the lower part. There is also a floor mat which can be unfolded to practice all kinds of exercises with the handles. There is a multitude of movements which can be done while sitting, standing or even lying down. Thanks to the integrated timer, the user can plan out his entire session.

Once the floor mat is folded back, this architectural piece of furniture brings in a touch of relaxing vegetation to your interior. To fit in perfectly to your everyday life, the vegetation in the integrated flowerpots can be personalised, just like the colour of the structure and the floor mat. Your fitness material is not only functional, but also possesses a strong identity conveying elegance and personality.
