"You know that feeling when you've been hunched over your laptop for three hours straight and your shoulders are basically living rent-free up by your ears? That tightness in your neck that no amount of rolling your head around seems to fix? Yeah, we all do. The modern office worker's body is basically staging a protest, and honestly, it has every right to."
"The device itself looks like nothing you've seen before. It has this curved, almost sculptural form with a wire connecting two handle-like pieces. Think of it as a resistance band met a piece of modern art and they decided to help you fix your posture. The sleek design in soft blue and coral feels refreshingly un-intimidating, which is kind of the point. This isn't gym equipment that'll gather dust in your closet while silently judging you. It's meant to be portable, accessible, and actually used."
Break is a portable wellness device that combines a fitness tracker, game controller, and physical-therapy aid to counteract desk-worker posture problems. The device features a curved sculptural body with a wire linking two handle-like pieces, offering resistance for targeted stretches. Built-in prompts issue "quests" for exercises such as Y/T/A raises on an integrated screen, turning rehabilitation into gamified routines. Soft blue and coral colors and an approachable form factor prioritize accessibility and regular use. The concept won a Red Dot award and was created by Jeoung Jinyoung, Lee Jonghyun, Yang Junhong, and Lee Junyoung.
