Streetwear label Mizuno branched into homeware with the new Healthy Interior line of furniture. It is a special collection of goods as it breaches beyond just furniture design, it adds a touch of function as well. The pieces are a perfect blend of furniture and fitness, which makes working out easy to do in the comfort of one's own home.
This can be seen through items such as the Le Coeur, which is a coffee table. It functions as a simple coffee table but the tabletop is made so that it can be used for shoulder stretches and exercises. The Ballretch and the Ringretch cushions are designed for shoulders, arms, and back exercises. It is partially a weight, part exercise ring, and part decorative chair cushion.
