# Arboreal Workout Equipment The Conceptual 'Twig' Dumbbells Bring a Naturalistic Touch to the Gym By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2019-05-13 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twig-dumbbells References: [yankodesign](https://www.yankodesign.com/2019/05/10/these-twig-shaped-dumbbells-will-bulk-you-up/) The conceptual 'Twig' dumbbells have been created as a naturalistic workout device that bring about a more organically inspired experience for athletes to appreciate. Featuring a metallic design that's accented by three prongs on each end, the weights have an interchangeable functionality that allows athletes to change the weight intensity by swapping out the ends. This eliminates the need for a whole collection of differently weighted dumbbells to make them perfect for living spaces or workplaces to keep things clutter-free. The conceptual 'Twig' dumbbells are the design work of Ji Hoon Lee and are the winner of the 2019 A’ Design Award.
