Exercise meets minimalist design.
Yes, they really are dumbbells, and yes, they really do double as decor in their downtime. These German-designed beauts are crafted from natural hardwood—American walnut or Canadian maple, your pick—with brass details to complete their minimalist looks. Inside, a weighted iron core gives each one a little heft. And to complete the lineup? There’s a matching resistance band with a highly elastic core.
Snap up a pair in your choice of weight: 1 or 2 kilograms (that’s 2.2 or 4.4 pounds). Or, get both weights with the set of four. Fancy the resistance band, too? You can snag it all on its own, or spring for the complete set.
