product information

The Stapelstein® Ball is a design artifact and a symbol of 10 years of Stapelstein® design innovation.
It represents movement, curiosity, and flow – connecting our origins with a new form. The ball is not a conventional product, but an invitation to discover playful movement in a new way.

For our 10-year design anniversary, we didn’t want to launch “just another product.”
Instead, the ball tells the story of our design journey – from early sketches and prototypes to testing, failing, and refining. It reflects our values, our material expertise, and our belief in Playful Movement for all. 

By intention: The Stapelstein® Ball is not for sale.
It is meant as a gesture of appreciation, surprise, and belonging. Receiving a ball means being part of our journey – not participating in a promotion, but discovering a piece of our design story.

At the moment, the ball is a design experiment and a living part of our anniversary narrative.
How this form may evolve in the future remains open. Sometimes, meaningful design starts quietly – before finding its place in the world.

Yes. The round shape ensures even weight distribution and high stability. For extra grip, we recommend using a non-slip surface like our Mat or combining it with the Base for active sitting.

Yes. All elements are part of a modular system and can be combined and expanded.

In short: the drumstick loves rhythm, but it’s not a fan of long dives.

The Drumstick was developed in collaboration with Grimms to transform the Stapelstein® elements into resonant drums. As it is made from the natural material wood and finished with non-toxic varnish, there are a few things to bear in mind when using it with water:

• Drumming by the water: Of course! If your drumheads float in the water, you can use them perfectly well as floating drums. Just make sure the drumstick stays dry.

• No water toys: The stick is not suitable for prolonged contact with water. It should not be left in water or submerged.

• What happens if it gets wet? Wood is a living, natural product. If it gets too damp, the wooden bead may warp or the colour may rub off slightly. Don’t worry: the colours are completely harmless, but the stick’s appearance will be affected.

• First aid if the stick gets wet: If the stick does happen to get wet, it’s not the end of the world. Simply let it dry thoroughly in the air (please do not place it directly on a hot radiator, as this may cause the wood to crack).

Our tip: Treat your drumstick like a precious musical instrument – that way, it’ll remain a long-lasting companion on your musical journeys!
