Archy Mat and Galé Pad
Hercule Studio

Breaking through a competitive market requires a strong positioning and vision, which Joy Lucas has had from the start. But a young brand must be embodied by a highly distinctive product that becomes its signature.
The key for the Archi mat was a technology transfer from the luxury textile industry, which enabled the creation of a new and singular aesthetic.
