Kineo is a workplace wellness booth designed by Kat Lew in collaboration with Precor. Developed to address work-related musculoskeletal discomfort, the modular structure measures 5 feet by 5 feet by 8 feet and is designed for transport through standard service elevators before on-site assembly. The enclosure features rounded corners, tinted glass panels, acoustic fabric surfaces, and a champagne gold frame. Interior finishes include wood paneling, fabric-lined surfaces, and integrated lighting designed for office environments.
The booth is divided into two functional areas. One side incorporates a stretching station with horizontal bars mounted at multiple heights for back, shoulder, calf, and leg exercises. A control panel provides guided stretching functions within the space. The second area includes a fold-down desk, an adjustable saddle-style stool, and an arc floor lamp.
