MAKUS
MAKUS gives colour to the future. We turn the induction hob into an interior piece. Because the kitchen is your interior, for many even the most important part. MAKUS is not a black surface on your counter. A MAKUS fits your kitchen and brings harmony to your kitchen design.

MEREL PHILIPPART
MAKUS was founded by Merel Philippart. She started her career as a sustainability advisor for homes and neighborhoods. One thing became clear to her: all necessary measures (insulation, ventilation, solar panels, induction hobs, etc.) are ugly and often expensive. What a waste! There is color in the future, but we have to give it to it ourselves.
Merel has transformed the induction hob into a tasteful interior item with MAKUS. Merel “With a MAKUS you increase the harmony of your kitchen design. MAKUS stands for cooking with taste at all levels.” MAKUS won the ASN World Prize in 2018.

We make an electrical product, with that we have an impact on the environment. We try to minimize our environmental impact more and more. We produce at our neighbors, in Germany. The ceramic glass comes from the renowned Schott Ceran, winner of the German Sustainability Award.

We have mapped out which components have the greatest environmental impact. With the component that has the greatest impact, we are currently experimenting how to minimize it. We are not only doing this for ourselves, but we are trying to involve the entire sector in this.
