We are AntoineandMichael... and sport has always been part of our daily life. We love sport because it allows us to find pleasure and balance in our lives. Like many, we practice it in music, alone or with friends, we follow our run on Strava and we let ourselves be guided by our GPS on our bike or scooter.
That's why we created Shapeheart !
In the beginning...
In the beginning...
This whole sleeve magnetic detachable thing actually happened completely by accident. We were working on our armband cardio in order to offer a heart tracker that was more reliable than watches and more comfortable than chest belts. We had decided to integrate an optical sensor into armband, but we had the following problem: having the sensor against the skin and smartphone outside the jacket... That's actually how the sleeve detachable magnetic system was born, and we quickly realized that this was what could revolutionize the smartphone accessories.
Designing quality products
Designing quality products
It was a real challenge to design and develop a good product. We quickly realized why the concept didn't exist before. 14 iterations were necessary to have in our hands the armband ideal: a system of magnets strong enough to hold its smartphone in place while allowing fluid access, without weighing down the armband, compatible with almost all smartphones and easy to produce.
The same was true for the design of the bike and motorcycle rack.
