Kenko was founded in 2016 by German designers Andreas Bachmann (*1987 in Tokio) and Fritz Grospietsch (*1988 in Braunschweig), with the specific intent of creating home gym equipment that compliments interiors. During their previous work as Galerie Bachmann, an internationally renowned gallery in Berlin known for trading design classics, the two witnessed a recurring challenge many homes have been facing - Inhabiting workout spaces that harmonize with their surroundings. In most cases, Bachmann and Grospietsch encountered gym equipment that acted as a disruptive presence in the home, often leading to it being tucked away. Kenko’s founders observed that by hiding their home gym equipment, their clients reduced its functionality, resulting in a home gym that instead of being readily available, was often forgotten. This led Bachmann and Grospietsch to pose the questions - What if instead of having to conceal fitness equipment, it was proudly present within the home? What if instead of disrupting the interior, it served to compliment it, catching your attention and inviting you to interact with it? To answer these questions the vision of Kenko was conceived - High-quality, sustainable home gym equipment designed to function aesthetically as an inspirational part of your interior.
