TEAM & HISTORY OF THE BOX
KATHARINA MATZ
Sustainability, good design and high-quality workmanship were particularly important to me when making the Matzbox. It is a wonderful toy that gives children a lot of fun and promotes their creativity and dexterity."
CHRISTOPH MATZ
"I like simple and elegant objects and consider sustainability to be one of the most important issues of our time. With my memories of the wonderful experiences with the original Matzbox in my childhood, it gives me enormous joy to see that the Matzbox is used in so many different ways and is also so well received and appreciated in kindergartens."

Matzbox – Die Neuauflage der Ur-Box
Für Christoph war die Wiederbelebung der Ur-Box eine Herzensangelegenheit. Er wollte dieses zeitlose Spielzeug zurück in die Welt bringen, weil es weit mehr bietet als nur Unterhaltung. Die Matzbox fördert Kreativität, verbindet Generationen und steht für Nachhaltigkeit. Sie ist mehr als ein einfacher Baukasten – sie ist ein Stück Geschichte, das Sie an Ihre Kinder weitergeben können. Ein Spielzeug, das über Generationen hinweg Freude schenken soll.
The potential
By observing how his own children play with the building blocks
played and how these stimulated their imagination and creativity,
Christoph realized that the Matzbox had a potential that in the modern, often
digitalized gaming world was increasingly forgotten. The simple, yet
Deep interaction with the natural material wood and the unlimited possibilities offered by these versatile building blocks, without being restricted by predetermined rules or results, were qualities that he considered indispensable in today's world.
Values and sustainability
In addition, the decision to produce the Matzbox as an FSC®-certified toy reflected Christoph's commitment to the environment and the future of our planet. In a world where sustainability and conscious consumption are becoming increasingly urgent, the Matzbox offered an opportunity.
The symbol for responsible forest management!
