Susanne Herbold designs a Special Art Edition together with Marcel Wüst for the Casa Ciclista Team — a cycling jersey born from her painting „Coming Home”. By now it is worn worldwide, including in Australia and the USA. Art to wear: abstract painting in motion.
Art to Wear – The Idea Behind Coming Home
With Coming Home, something new begins for me: for the first time, my art and cycling meet within a shared design. The jersey, created from my painting Coming Home, is far more than sportswear — it carries a message of freedom, openness, light, and the feeling of arriving: in life, on the road, and within oneself.
The color world of Coming Home is inspired by the landscape of Mallorca — sun, sea, movement, and the inner balance that arises when one is fully present in the moment. This atmosphere is reflected in the design and now accompanies those who set out on their own journey — by bike, on foot, or simply moving through the day with energy.
From Painting to Design
What began as a single design has evolved into a versatile collection — for cyclists, recreational athletes, runners, and enthusiasts alike. The range includes:
- Jerseys in various versions: classic, ultralight, and thermal
- Bib shorts and vests
- Performance jackets and hoodies
- A dedicated running edition
- Accessories such as arm warmers, leg warmers, and gloves
It invites both visual and physical movement — and the possibility of wearing a personal artistic statement.
Collaboration with Cycling
All pieces of this Special Art Edition are produced on demand – not pre-manufactured, but individually made to order. No stock items, no mass production – instead, unique pieces created with care and patience.
Delivery time is approximately 4–6 weeks – and that is precisely what makes the difference: You receive a high-quality, long-lasting design piece that is as individual as your own style.
Art Between Movement and Everyday Life
Marcel Wüst was one of the most successful German professional cyclists of his generation. With stage victories in all three Grand Tours — the Tour de France, Giro d’Italia and Vuelta a España — he became part of cycling history.
After ending his professional career, he devoted himself passionately to building his international team Casa Ciclista — a welcoming and performance-oriented network spanning Germany, Europe and the United States. The community combines athletic ambition with a shared joy of life — both on and off the bike.
What Connects Us
With Coming Home, two spheres that shape my artistic practice come together: art and movement.
That Coming Home finds its place within this edition is therefore far more than a design process. It is also an expression of my deep connection with Marcel — my husband, who spends much of his time on Mallorca, travels with the team, and yet returns at the end of every season. Coming Home is his story as well — and a quiet greeting from me to him.
Thus, Coming Home is not only an edition, but also an invitation to experience movement in a new way.
