Maze Interior is a Swedish furniture company founded in Stockholm in 2003 by photographer Kent Johansson. The brand's first product, the F-Shelf, was born from Johansson's personal need for a compact bedside table in his small apartment. This origin story reflects the company's focus on creating smart, functional solutions for modern living spaces.
The brand's design philosophy is rooted in Scandinavian principles of minimalism and function, with a playful touch. Maze Interior champions a "Slow Production" model. This means they create timeless pieces intended to last for generations, deliberately avoiding short-lived trends in favor of enduring quality and style.
A significant portion of production, around 80%, occurs in Sweden in collaboration with local craftspeople. The company prioritizes sustainable materials, using recycled metal, wood from FSC or PEFC certified forests, and traceable leather from Scandinavian cattle. This commitment extends to their processes, like using powder coating for metal to reduce environmental impact.
Signature collections include the modular Pythagoras shelving system designed by Gustav Rosén and the Bill collection by Louise Hederström. These products exemplify the brand's blend of intelligent design and responsible manufacturing.
