Maztermind Majestic Mahjong set featured in Business Traveller Asia-Pacific magazine

A beautiful design is defined not only by its form or materials, but also by the way it tells a story of culture, art, and contemporary spirit. For Maztermind, the journey of bringing traditional games closer to the language of modern design has reached another memorable milestone: the Majestic Mahjong Set has officially been featured in the November–December 2026 issue of the prestigious Business Traveller Asia-Pacific magazine.

Featured in the Little Luxuries section (Pages 28–29), the set is presented as a design that combines recreational enjoyment with display value. This is not only a moment of pride in seeing a product bearing a distinct Vietnamese identity step onto the international stage, but also a recognition of the creative efforts and craftsmanship of Vietnamese artisans.

Redefining a cultural heritage

Originating in China in the late 19th century, Mahjong has long been a familiar part of the cultural and social life of generations. Over time, the game has continued to be reinterpreted by designers around the world through various approaches, from carving techniques and colors to experiments with materials and forms. As a result, a Mahjong set is no longer simply an accessory for playing the game, but can also become a decorative object with considerable aesthetic value.

Maztermind has fully encapsulated this spirit in the Majestic Mahjong Set. Rather than opting for conventional tile storage boxes, the design team developed the outer case into a multi-tiered tower inspired by the ancient temple architecture of East Asia. This tiered structure not only creates a striking visual impression, evoking traditional Eastern architecture, but also offers an exceptionally clever storage solution.

What makes the design particularly interesting is that each tier of the wooden case is designed to double as a tile tray during gameplay. Functionality and aesthetics are brought together in harmony, turning the simple act of opening the case into an experience of understated refinement.

A harmonious combination of materials

To create the distinctive appearance of the Majestic Mahjong Set, Maztermind selected solid beechwood as the primary material for the case. Its natural wood tones bring a sense of warmth and refinement while highlighting the architectural form of the multi-tiered structure.

Inside, the Mahjong tiles are handcrafted from Jesmonite and finished with microfiber leather-wrapped bases. The combination of the tiles' solid surfaces and the wooden exterior creates a balanced overall design, suited to both gameplay and display.

Designed not only for the playing experience, the Majestic Mahjong Set can also serve as a decorative piece after each game. Whether placed on a coffee table, bookshelf, or in a living room, its multi-tiered case adds a distinctive accent to the space, even when the set is not in use.

Carefully selected materials

A milestone in bringing cultural values into contemporary design

With the Majestic Mahjong Set, Maztermind aims to broaden the way people perceive handcrafted games: a Mahjong set can fully preserve the spirit of tradition while expressing a distinctive aesthetic identity through contemporary structures and craftsmanship.

Being selected for the Little Luxuries section of Business Traveller Asia-Pacific is a great source of encouragement for the team. It demonstrates that designs with conceptual depth and dedication to every detail can indeed resonate with the international design community.
