A Simple Machine is work furniture that invites activity. The motion of the user is mimicked in the moving parts and transformation of the objects; functional and transparent furniture pieces that reflect activity in appearance and interaction.

A Simple Machine combines ergonomics and engineering to promote physical activity in the workplace. Its pulleys, weights and levers, powered by human energy, enable a new working rhythm.

Counterweight Table

Price on Request

A cylindrical counterweight balances the mass of the tabletop and its frame, resulting in a floating surface which can be fixed at any desired height. 

Adding or removing extra weights on either side of the cylindrical counterweight allows for a perfect balance, even if the load and/or use changes. For impromptu workout sessions and to store any unused extra weights the Kettle Bell is sold separately.
