dumbbells,
I normally used them 6 days a week when we were in Thailand, but so far have replaced that routine with walks, but I have just seen these beauties, Blue 2 Tokushima is
an initiative to connect designers with local manufacturers in Japan’s
Tokushima Prefecture with the objective of coming up with new applications for
craftsmanship and manufacturing expertise, one result of that initiative are
these wooden dumbbells,
they were
designed by Taku Omura, who teamed
up with Ikawa Sculpture Store,
a family-owned company that’s been carving mostly religious and traditional
decorations since 1932, the dumbbells were hand-carved with the traditional
cloud motif, which often appears in Buddhist and Shinto art,
named after the motif, the “ClouD” dumbbells come in 3 sizes
and weigh: 0.5 kg, 1 kg and 2 kg. they will be on display at Maison
& Objet Paris later this month, I will just have to wait until the 6 kilo ones are produced.
