The Balance Stool is made of wood reclaimed from ash trees destroyed by pests such as the emerald ash borer. Each element of the stool is made using computer numerically controlled (CNC) techniques and the legs are then friction fitted into holes in the underside of the seat.The wood is finished with a traditional Danish technique in which pure soap flakes are made into a paste with hot water and applied to the surface of the furniture.

Workspace Workout furniture collection is to help promote an active lifestyle in the work environment.It's not only about finding the time for exercise, but about incorporating it in your daily routines, from taking the stairs, going for a walk and, with the Balance Stool, engaging and strengthening your core muscles in a passive activity.
