You have always wanted to lose weight, but you have neither the time nor the energy for exercising when you come home. Your days are always exhausting and there are no resources left, so you’d rather enjoy a quiet evening in front of the TV, watching a romantic comedy and eating some ice-cream. It sounds great, I agree, but tomorrow you’ll be feeling sorry and you might even start to complain and cry your eyes out, because you want to have a perfect silhouette, and as soon as possible.

The Hobart I-Cool seat concept is undoubtedly one of the most amazing, innovative and stylish pieces of fitness equipment we have seen till date. And it can help you lose weight without giving up ice-cream and other culinary delights you love so much. The Hobart I-Cool seat has your best interests at heart and is designed to reduce body weight while sitting and doing nothing. Developed and created by Tel-Aviv-based Padwa Design, the I-Cool is the first ever Exercise-Free, Calorie Burning seat, designed to deliver significantly increased sedentary calorie burn rates.



The device is based on a proprietary system which includes accelerated calorie outtake via temperature regulation and creates a revolutionary personalized micro-environment, by allowing individual users to set their preferred temperature within the comfort of their personal space, regardless of the climate around them.

The Hobart I-Cool seat looks really inviting, there’s no doubt about it, but I wonder how exactly it functions. I mean, does the I-Cool make you shiver, sweat or both in order to increase sedentary calorie burning rates? Apparently, you sit in it and sweat. But, come on, how many of you would like the idea of sweating inside your office while sitting on this chair? However, you would probably love to see this going into production, for the stunning make and the innovative functionality.
