KATHARINA MATZ

Architect, wood mechanic and organizational talent

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

Architect and passionate toy tester

"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 – Toy with History

45 years of gaming experience

The Matzbox story begins in Christoph Matz's childhood, when a large wooden box full of building blocks inspired his imagination during many playful hours. Years later, his own children discovered the same box and built with the same enthusiasm as he did back then. The building kit had not only stood the test of time, but had also retained its magic.

Matzbox – The new edition of the Ur-Box

For Christoph, reviving the Ur-Box was a matter of the heart. He wanted to bring this timeless toy back into the world because it offers far more than just entertainment. The Matzbox fosters creativity, connects generations, and stands for sustainability. It is more than just a simple building set – it is a piece of history that you can pass on to your children. A toy meant to bring joy across generations.

Freies Spiel

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

The decision to produce the Matzbox as an FSC®-certified toy underlines our commitment to the environment. In a world where sustainability and conscious consumption are becoming increasingly important, the Matzbox is a logical choice.
