The vegan suede surface feels heavenly to the touch and the natural rubber backing grips the hard floor surface so well.

Art for your practice. Cushioning for your everyday.

Melete brings contemplative blues and abstract expressionist mark making, capturing the emotional descent into stillness from an original studio painting to your practice space. A cushioned natural rubber mat with a soft, recycled vegan suede surface, made for home and studio practice.

4.5 mm cushioning · 183 × 66 cm · Approx. 3.4 kg
Cotton carry strap included.

Soft suede grip: Best suited to warm, sweaty practices. Lightly spritz with water for extra grip if your hands are cool or dry.

The inspiration behind Melete
The calm of rooted stillness—soft, reflective, and deep. An abstract ode to Icarus, it captures not the fall, but the surrender—his descent into the emotional waters below, where reflection and healing begin. A meditation in motion, grounded in light and shadow.

DIVE DEEPER

A little more about your Gallery Mat

Designed for home and studio practice, the Gallery Mat combines a cushioned natural rubber base with a soft, absorbent vegan suede surface made from recycled PET bottles.

Its 4.5 mm base offers cushioning for your practice, while the soft-touch surface is particularly suited to warm, sweaty movement—whether that’s yoga, Pilates or a workout.

Unlike an instant sticky mat, the suede surface may need a little breaking in. For extra grip, lightly spritz it with water, especially if your hands are cool or dry.

You can wear trainers and sweat without marking the surface, easy to clean down and no need for extra yoga towel. The rubber grips well to all surfaces from carpet, vinyl, wood & tiles.

Care & grip

Getting to know your mat

Our soft vegan suede surface is especially suited to warm, sweaty practices. If your hands are cool or dry, lightly spritz the surface or your hands with water for extra grip where needed.

Your mat may need a little breaking in when it’s new. Gently brush the top fibres up to help them.

Cleaning your mat

Wipe clean between sessions with a damp cloth and hygiene spray. After a particularly sweaty practice, your mat can also be machine washed on a cool cycle.

Natural rubber changes over time with use and cleaning. Please follow our full mat care guide to help keep your mat looking its best.

See our full care guide for more tips.
