VIKT From rail to living room
VIKT is multifunctional fitness equipment designed for smart living. Made from reclaimed Swedish railway tracks, it works as a kettlebell, doorstop, bookend, or sculptural object. Developed during the Summer eXpression incubator program.

The idea.
VIKT explores how workout equipment can become part of the home, rather than something you store away.
Recognition.
The result.
As living spaces become smaller and more multifunctional, objects need to do more while taking up less visual space. It is a proposal for fitness equipment that blends into everyday environments — soft in expression, present in the room, and something you don’t feel the need to hide.
At its core, VIKT functions as strength training equipment, including kettlebells and dumbbells, but rethinks how these objects exist in the home. Made from reclaimed Swedish railway steel, the pieces carry weight both physically and materially. Their form is intentionally soft and rounded — almost like heavy marshmallows — allowing them to double as everyday objects such as doorstops, bookends, or sculptural elements. This makes them easy to keep out, rather than put away.
