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.
