GymBall

Three sizes. One stable system.

01 / CONTEXT

The idea in context.

Designed with Husarska Design Studio for APUS Sports, GymBall makes a familiar fitness product easier to choose, hold and put down. Colour and size identify the range; a porous lower surface adds grip; weight in the base helps each ball settle back into one predictable position.

02 / DESIGN LOGIC

A small system of decisions.

01

Choose

Colour and size markings make the right ball easier to recognise at a glance.

02

Hold

A porous lower surface improves contact with the floor and gives the user a more secure grip.

03

Settle

Additional weight in the base helps the ball return to a predictable resting position.

03 / PRODUCT STUDY

A familiar object, made easier to read.

04 / DETAIL STUDY

In the close-ups, the product language becomes tangible: the size number, the APUS mark and the textured lower zone are not decoration — they help the product work.
