At Mazo, every design begins with a question of purpose.
Not what is new, but what is worth living with - now and over time.

From 1931, still iconic today.
Like many of his contemporaries, Magnus Læssøe Stephensen designed a series of elegant chairs for Fritz Hansen in the early 1930s, crafted in steam-bent beech using Thonet’s method. They were light, beautiful, and accessible.
The MZO Chair stands as a testament to this approach - for many years, it was the best-selling chair in Denmark, better known at the time as the DAN Chair.
Today, it is still produced on one of Thonet’s historic factories, continuing a legacy.

When you surround yourself with designs shaped by heritage and revived with intent, you bring depth, continuity, and lasting value into your space - pieces made to live with you now and endure over time.

“Legacy is not merely something we receive – it is a foundation we build upon. Each generation adds its own vision without losing the connection to its roots. In this way, legacy becomes alive when the next generation leaves its own mark.”
— Magnus Stephensen, CEO and Founder of Mazo
In the Stephensen family, a design legacy spans three generations. Danish architect Magnus Læssøe Stephensen (1903-1984) designed furniture that today lives on in Mazo’s collection, continuing to form a foundation for the family’s relationship with design, craftsmanship, and aesthetics.
Through his son, the designer and ceramicist Snorre Læssøe Stephensen, and onward to his grandson Magnus Stephensen, the story continues – not merely as history, but as a living legacy that continues to inspire new perspectives on form, function, and timelessness.

Here, Mazo furniture sits alongside design classics, heirlooms, and a deliberate color palette that shapes the visual temperature and mood of each space.

ARCH Chair, 1932, by Magnus Læssøe Stephensen, is part of our Legacy Collection.
“He defies conventions by crafting massive oak pieces into curved arches through steaming and formbending, demonstrating a deep understanding of wood properties, a remarkable feature of a 1932 chair.” - Magnus Stephensen, Founder of Mazo and grandson of the designer.
Though almost a century old, it could have been made yesterday. ARCH carries a legacy of ideas – of craft, of material, of design that endures beyond its time.
