KENKÅŒ — SELECTED PROJECTS
​
Next to Malibu Beach, there is a residence with a fantastic view of the seemingly infinite ocean. It is a place for reflection and the rejuvenation of all senses. With this setting as our backdrop, we have designed this space for our client in Malibu Beach to provide a conscious workout experience and subsequently, a high-level relaxation.
We have approached the functionality of the space with great care, ensuring that it preserves both the impact of the ocean's view and the functionality of the sports equipment.
SALONE DEL MOBILE
COLLABORATION WITH GIORGETTI
2022
MILAN, ITALY
​​
Giorgetti is a leading furniture manufacturer in Europe and already has a history of more than 120 years. Based in Italy, the company combines technical innovation with traditional craftsmanship and has a similar corporate philosophy to kenko, in sustainability and aesthetics.
We thank Giorgetti for the great cooperation at Salone del Mobile 2022.

​
For an editorial in Paper Magazine and Google Shopping, Wiz Khalifa was chosen as the face of the advertising campaign presenting the best sports equipment of 2022/2023. In this he presents our kenko products in a very unusual environment for kenko at a junkyard in California. But here, too, it shows that elegance and effectiveness are not mutually exclusive. We would like to thank you for the very warm and incredibly nice cooperation and look forward to further projects.
HYATT REGENCY
DESIGN BY KENGO KUMA
2022
PEKING, CHINA
​
Located in the heart of Wangjing - the capital’s vibrant new CBD - Hyatt Regency Beijing Wangjing is designed to create an “Urban Forest” with restorative views of surrounding greenery to refresh you through a journey close to nature.
The symbiosis of nature, urbanity and quality of life in this newly created hotel do justice to the philosophy of kenko and give our products the desired effect: a subtle presence and productive functionality in a small space.
CUSTOMIZED WALLBAR
​
The customized Wall Bar was created for the new Hagius gym in Berlin.
The minimalistic wallbar is made out of German ash wood mixed with polished stainless steel.
A result is an object with few distractions, making it easy to focus purely on your workout. The new Hagius space offers training sessions grounded in neuro-athletic training and sports science, with a particular focus on ‘biorhythms’, in line with the suggestion that our bodies require different stimuli at different times of the day.
​
How do we imagine the perfect gym?
Of course, with lots of natural materials, plenty of space and Kenko products. We work daily to make our dream studio a reality. Whether it's a standard or custom product, we are your partner for fitness and aesthetics.
​
​With our first showroom in Berlin we give our products a new home. From now on you can convince yourself of the unique design, the high-quality materials and the various applications of our products in Tucholskystraße 47, 10117 Berlin. The former gallery in Berlin Mitte was designed by our interior designers to be an impressive stage for the kenko collection. Fine materials, an elegant, minimalist room concept, and professional lighting allow the products to be seen in their full beauty.
​
Nestled on the bank of the Ziller river, MalisGarten Green Spa Hotel sprouted out of the lavish Austrian nature of the Schwaz district with a specific principle in mind: To offer a place of therapeutic solace which, more than simply corresponds with the nature surrounding it, refers to it for inspiration. The use of natural materials conveys a relaxing, welcoming atmosphere. Just like the hotel itself, kenko’s pieces invite you to touch them, to experience them, in a way that is first and foremost therapeutic. These are not just weights for working out, these are natural objects that foster relaxation and aesthetic peace of mind. Similarly, MalisGarten is not just another hotel or resort, but a place for healing, giving weight and meaning to the epithet “green spa”.
​
The subtle, almost subdued presence of kenko’s various workout equipment lends this usually uninviting space an appealing quality. Between the aesthetic of the dark expanders and the elongated wooden dumbbells, the gym is transformed into a functional gallery, a healthy place for both the body and mind to practice.
