Even though the idea of fitness has been increasingly valued and pursued, there is still lots of obstacles to conquer and it requires strict self-discipline and long-term insistence for the majority of people. Our starting point for Bibelot is to precisely target those who are not doing exercise, and imperceptibly, lead them into daily work-out. It is not just a product design, but a design for behaviour guidance.

From this, Bibelot is not subject to a stereotypical dumbbell, but a decoration piece or sculpture, so that it is able be naturally integrated into various daily life scenes, such as on nightstand, in the study, on the table top, etc. And then, it could be grabbed or picked up subconsciously, as while taking a glance, people won’t be aware of a serious dumbbell standby. In this way, it reminds people: let’s get a start, even just from standing up and taking a walk first.

By means of a geometric deconstruction and reorganization of the Roman Columns, Bibelot is piled into a modern sculptural dumbbell. It looks like a lopsided shape; however, we have tested and balanced through internal structure to keep its physical gravity to the center absolutely. Satisfying the aesthetic shape meanwhile, we still maintain the experience of using dumbbells.
