Our commitments
From materials and practice to travel and care, every Hercule Studio object follows a precise charter of commitments. Our aim is simple: movement objects that are beautiful, safe and made to last.
The materials
Our materials are selected with exigence, for their quality, their performance and their non-toxicity. The foam in our mats is sourced from Italy, and our technical fabrics are OEKO-TEX® certified and tested for harmful substances. Natural rubber, plant-based leather, cotton, probiotics, recycled packaging: each material is carefully chosen to bring together technical precision, durability and safety.
The sustainability
Every Hercule Studio object is created to endure, in form as much as in use. The ARCHY® mat is tested to withstand more than 100,000 abrasion cycles, even under intensive practice. This same exigence shapes the way we produce: the fabric offcuts from ARCHY® are repurposed to give life to the GALÉ® Pad. From raw material to finished piece, each step is designed to preserve resources, reduce waste and extend the life of our objects.
The creativity
Every object begins with a sketch. Form, proportion, colour: everything is considered before a single material is chosen, in pursuit of balance between aesthetics and use. For at Hercule Studio, beauty is never decorative: it is integral to the experience of movement. A conviction at the heart of our approach to neuroaesthetics, where design, function and wellbeing are one.
The exclusivity
Each year, Hercule Studio chooses to limit its launches, to produce its editions and colourways in measured quantities, and to favour a few carefully selected collaborations. This same exigence guides how we choose our partners: deliberately exclusive and discreet. An approach that values precision over abundance, and singularity over repetition.
The human touch
Our objects are shaped by select savoir-faire. In France and abroad, Hercule Studio works with human-scale ateliers, often family-run for generations, whose skills span the worlds of design, fashion and sport. We choose them less for their capacity to produce than for their expertise, their mastery of the trade and the quality of their craftsmanship.
