forpeople’s new bike design for kettler combines performance and domesticity

forpeople reveals the ‘kettler frame’ bike series for the home

creative studio forpeople has partnered with german brand kettler to design its latest fitness equipment series called the ‘kettler frame’ bike. by combining performance cues with the warmth of living spaces, forpeople helped kettler rethink the fitness category by creating a language that brings exercise equipment into the heart of the home. after developing the new brand proposition, the bike series is brought to life through a first product range — ‘frame’ — which includes ‘speed’, ‘racer’ and ‘racer+’ bikes.
