Antwerp welcomes a revolutionary design brand: MAZU. This Belgian label introduces an innovative collection of high-quality, lightweight aluminum planters with integrated premium LED lighting. The result? A fusion of refined design, advanced technology, and sustainability. Behind this groundbreaking brand are Steve Symons and Christophe Scheyvaerts, two visionaries with an impressive track record in the design world.
More Than a Planter: Architecture and Light
MAZU redefines the traditional planter as a piece of architecture with a true WOW factor. Comparing it to the first iPhone after an era of Nokias is anything but far-fetched. Thanks to the subtly integrated lighting, seamlessly embedded in the planter’s upper rim, a warm and inviting ambiance is created both indoors and outdoors. MAZU’s mission? To raise the bar in innovation, sustainability, and aesthetics.
A Revolution in Form and Function
MAZU believes in boundless creativity. The collections are designed to be both functional and inspiring. Each piece embodies the perfect balance between aesthetics and craftsmanship, making a striking impression at first glance. No imitations—only original creations that set trends rather than follow them. The name MAZU itself means “to be the first.”
The brand presents four exclusive collections: Nautilus, Oyster, Tank, and Wedge. Each has its own distinct character and is crafted from high-quality, recycled aluminum, resulting in a sustainable, luxurious, and timeless look. Additionally, custom solutions are available for both private and professional projects, from exclusive gardens and terraces to interior installations. MAZU elevates every project to an unparalleled level with intergenerational classics.
Sustainability & Ease of Use: Smart Materials, Smart Choices
Sustainability is at the heart of Belgian brand MAZU. By using European recycled aluminum, its planters maintain high quality while being surprisingly lightweight. The in-house designers have also introduced integrated lighting into planters for the first time. Additionally, a Sherwin Williams eco-friendly powder coating is used, ensuring a commitment to aesthetics, durability, and a reduced environmental footprint.
The Power Behind MAZU
Steve Symons, globally recognized as the serial entrepreneur behind BuzziSpace, and Christophe Scheyvaerts, the creative force behind Paju Design, have joined forces to create MAZU. Their combined expertise and passion have shaped a brand that seamlessly unites design and technology in an unprecedented way. Steve’s entrepreneurial background and Christophe’s artistic vision create the perfect synergy to push boundaries—all under the name MAZU.
Looking to the Future
The journey of MAZU has begun, with ambitions reaching far beyond Belgium’s borders. International expansion is undoubtedly on the horizon, with New York set as the next major destination by late 2025. The founders are determined to continue innovating and surprising with groundbreaking designs—extending beyond just planters.
