The rower is arguably one of the most complete fitness machines. In a single movement it works the legs, back, arms and lungs, making it an ideal companion for daily exercise.
There are several types, but the most common is the air rower. Its principle is simple: a flywheel fitted with blades moves a volume of air with each stroke, and it is this resistance that creates the effort during the pull.
I took inspiration from the most famous air rower to imagine a wooden version. The material changes everything: the gym machine becomes a warm object that naturally finds its place inside a home.
The wheel is driven by a bicycle chain and freewheel: it is spun with each pull, then keeps turning on its momentum during the return.
