Darryl Agawin No SweatThe furniture provides a circuit-training program that is based around the basic components of a <a href="http://inhabitat.com/skinny-eels-nest-home-and-office-in-la-takes-cues-from-impossibly-narrow-japanese-lots/" target="_blank">home office</a>.3

Darryl Agawin No SweatNo, Sweat! was created to not only save time and space, but to also help break up the work day and <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/exercise-desks/" target="_blank">encouraging physical activity</a> to help with work day endurance. Since many freelancers who work at home end up burning the candle at both ends, Agawin’s No, Sweat! offers the opportunity to take a mental break while toning up your physique. Its post-Bauhaus design also adds flare to any home office!7
