Why artes motus exists — and where we are going
A personal word from Marc, Co-Founder of artes motus
artes motus was not founded to simply be another golf apparel brand.
The idea arose from a simple observation: Golf clothing is often designed for appearance — but too rarely for movement.
Golf is a sport that lives almost entirely from movement. Rotation, dynamics, control, timing. A single golf swing combines all of these elements in just a few seconds. And this very moment is the starting point for every one of our products.
Movement as a starting point
As a golfer and product developer, I have experienced the same thing time and again:
Clothing that looks good but feels restrictive when moving.
Designs that reference tradition but have little to do with modern performance.
Products that try to please everyone — and therefore don't really do justice to anyone.
It was clear to me: This can be done better.
A clean golf swing is a form of art. Precise, controlled, reduced to the essentials. This idea—the art of movement—is the core of artes motus.
What “Art of Motion” means to us
"Art of Motion" is not a marketing term. It's our way of working. When we develop a new product, we don't start with colors or trends. We start with questions:
How does the upper body move during the swing?
Where do tensile forces originate in the material?
Which areas need stability, and which need maximum freedom?
How does the body change over a complete round?
These considerations determine our cuts, our designs, and our material selection. Performance is not an add-on for us—it is the foundation.
Golfwear that understands movement
artes motus stands for golfwear that is inspired by the swing. This means: Our products are designed, not decorated.
Every detail has a function.
Each line follows a movement.
Every decision is made consciously.
Good design reveals itself when it works—not when it seeks the limelight. That's why our products are born from technical precision and clear design, not from short-lived trends.
The result is premium golf apparel that feels just as right on the course as it does off it.
Not for everyone — and that's precisely why it's relevant
Artes motus is not for everyone. And that's not a disadvantage, but part of our identity.
We are targeting golfers who take performance seriously.
To people who recognize quality without it being loudly advertised.
For players seeking functional golf apparel that supports movement rather than restricting it.
Mass appeal is not our goal. Clarity is.
We believe that a strong brand doesn't try to please everyone—but takes a clear stance. Those who share this stance will find themselves reflected at artes motus.
Where we are going
artes motus is still in its early stages. But the direction is clear.
We don't create fast-moving collections. We develop a well-thought-out system of performance products that evolve over seasons and remain relevant in the long term.
In our journal (blog) we share insights into:
Our design and development processes
Our view on movement and performance
Our material choices
Our principles behind our products
Not as a marketing channel. But as an open working journal of our way of thinking.
An invitation
When you not only play golf, but understand it.
When you not only expect performance, but demand it.
If you're looking for premium golf apparel that's made for movement — then you've come to the right place.
artes motus will not focus on attention — but on substance.
We will remain consistent.
Precise, deliberate, and never arbitrary.
Thank you for being part of this journey.
Here's to a good game!
