Minimalist Wooden Desk Treadmills

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The 'Office Walker' is Durable, Compact and Non-Electric

— November 13, 2025 — Art & Design
The 'Office Walker' is a desk-friendly treadmill designed with the modern home office in mind to help professionals easily hit their daily step targets. The non-electric treadmill is crafted with premium wooden components and will only move when the user walks to give it a safe, fluid design. The treadmill will work with many standing desks thanks to its 5.5-inch height at the lowest point and even features a walking surface that can be used with shoes, socks or bare feet.

The 'Office Walker' is the design work of Johannes Kettmann and is being launched as part of a Kickstarter campaign for WFH professionals to pledge for. The treadmill is built with durability in mind thanks to replaceable parts and no motor or electronic components.
