The design studio for a new gymnasium aesthetic.

  • A total departure from current fitness equipment towards a thoughtful, subtle and disarming collection of objects to inspire movement at home and in the arena. All available made to order.

The Kyora board is the first piece in the collection. A balance board designed in collaboration with Studio Mama to bridge the sculptural and functional.

Kyora in motion

The Kyora board is suitable for the full spectrum of exercise uses from soft movement to high intensity calisthenics.
A continuous soft edge is sanded for a natural ergonomic feel. The imperfect elliptical shape with its uniform construction gives the board strength and equilibrium. The natural curves bring out the unique grain of each chosen wood and the hand carved waves point to the center of gravity where one’s feet on either side are supported by the grip of each ripple.

Your intention

We wanted to create a physical statement of intent every-time you
step on the board so we engineered the ripples to look and feel like
the impact you would make stepping onto water, your mark on the day.

The Process

Each board is made to order and carved from a single piece of wood in our London workshop from a choice of sepele, sycamore and other hardwoods.
The timber is locally sourced fallen wood or aged wood that has not been traded due to flaws that make it unsuitable for construction. Any imported timber is FSC certified and no timber is felled for Cotto.
