Maze Interior – Scandinavian intelligence and responsible design
The Maze story began in Stockholm in 2003, when photographer Kent Johansson was looking for a suitable bedside table for his small apartment - without success. After a hard search, Johansson decided to solve his bedside table problem himself and started working on a product he liked from planks and nails found nearby. As if by itself, not only Maze's first product, the F-Shelf, was born, but also a completely new company, Maze Interior. Later, a group of designers, makers and business geniuses joined in.
The common goal of everyone at Maze is to create smart, playful and above all practical and iconic products. The entire production process aims to minimize the negative impact on nature, and Maze's production chain has been named "Slow production".
Maze strives to manufacture furniture with a need and problem-solving approach in mind. Today, approximately 96% of production takes place in Småland and Västergötland, Sweden. Since most of Maze's sales are in the Nordic countries, transportation distances are therefore kept short.
Maze's products always aim to primarily utilize recycled materials. This is not always possible, and in such cases, the material may be selected, for example, wood from sustainable forestry or leather, which is a by-product of the meat industry. The metal wire used in Maze products is 100% recycled up to 6 mm.
