What does MAKUS stand for

What MAKUS stands for

MAKUS was founded by Merel Philippart with a clear vision: the transition to induction cooking should not only be functional but also beautiful. Because the kitchen is no longer just a place to cook, but an important part of the interior.

With MAKUS, the induction cooktop is no longer seen as a mere appliance, but as an integral part of the design. A place where function and aesthetics converge.

Induction cooking with flair

The energy transition is in full swing. More and more households are switching to electric cooking. At the same time, the role of the kitchen is changing. Living room and kitchen seamlessly merge, forming the heart of the home.

Yet, many induction cooktops remain purely functional in design. Black, glossy, and technical. MAKUS challenges that perception.

With a designer induction cooktop in color, the cooktop becomes an integral part of the interior. It enhances cohesion in the kitchen and brings a sense of calm to the overall design.

Sustainable cooking in style. That is what MAKUS stands for.

Sustainability as an ongoing process

Sustainability is at the core of MAKUS. Not as a destination, but as a process.

We critically examine the components of our induction cooktops. Where do they come from, how are they produced, and what happens at the end of their lifespan?

Together with partners, we explore how ceramic glass can be better recycled. The goal is to reuse old glass in new products. Not just for MAKUS, but for the entire sector.

Step by step, we work to reduce our impact.

A new perspective on the kitchen industry

As a relatively new brand, MAKUS operates in a traditional market. Where often the focus is primarily on price and functionality, MAKUS introduces a different approach: design as an integral part of the kitchen.

This is not immediately understood by everyone. But among people and parties who value design, recognition emerges.

We collaborate with partners who share the same vision and are open to innovation.

Where does MAKUS want to go?

The ambition is clear. MAKUS aims to become the standard for anyone who doesn't want to choose between functionality and design in their kitchen.

For people who want a kitchen that is perfect. Down to the last detail.
