Our story
We make wooden toys for the full chaos.
Mamut started in a tiny garage workshop in Brno in 2019, after Jana and Pavel realized every "designer" toy they could find for their son Vojta was either too precious to actually play with, or made on the other side of the planet from plastic that would outlive humanity.
The first Mamut
The first toy Pavel carved was a slightly grumpy-looking wooden mammoth. Vojta loved it. He carried it everywhere — to bed, to the bathtub, into a snowdrift, briefly into a soup.
Other parents at the playground started asking. Then nursery teachers. Then a small shop in Vienna. Five years later, there's a team of seven of us in a not-so-tiny-anymore workshop, but everything is still made by hand, by people whose names we know, in a building that smells of beech shavings and coffee.
The mammoth is still our mascot. He's still slightly grumpy. We think that's exactly right.
What we actually believe
No mission statement nonsense. Just the four things that decide everything we make.
Toys are for playing, not displaying
If a toy is too precious to be thrown, gnawed, lost behind the sofa or rediscovered in a coat pocket six months later — it's not really a toy. We build for actual use.
Real wood, real grain, real character
We use European beech, oak, ash, cherry and walnut. Every toy has visible grain because trees are not perfectly uniform and neither are kids. Imperfection is the point.
Safe, but not sterile
Food-safe linseed oils, non-toxic milk paints, EN71 tested. We won't sell anything we wouldn't hand to Vojta's little sister. (Hi, Mia.)
Made by people, not robots
Seven humans in Brno, working a four-day week, paid a proper wage. Slower production, fewer products, more care. We think that's a fair trade.
