NODUL ROMANESC - THE ROMANIAN KNOT
How can something be real and imaginary at the same time? As in a hug, all the elements are placed in a perfect geometry to leave a cubic void in the center where the unexpected is revealed. Once it’s built, it can’t be undone, unless the craftsman shares a secret element.
Honouring our Romanian heritage, the knot represents the essence of who we are. Each part of the knot signifies one of our core values:
TIME, MINDFULNESS, BALANCE, MAGIC, HERITAGE, RESPECT, ART.
TIME
GRABA STRICA TREABA
[Romanian saying: Good things take time]. Looking for slowness and authenticity, such delicate ingredients in the Age of Artifice.
Our headphones undergo a meticulous development process whereby every possible aspect is refined. We engineer with durability in mind. We create many iterations of sound tuning and frame until we reach the perfect balance; we prefer to go through as many trials as humanly possible. We don’t push products to the market due to deadline, but only when the product is fully matured.
MINDFULNESS
DISAPPEAR INTO SOUND
Fading away into a lush exploration of the senses, where music becomes the realm of intimacy.
Our sound signature is tuned for long listening sessions, and so is the ergonomic build of our headphones: clarity without harshness, freshness without fatigue. We know a headphone is complete when it makes you forget about the outside world and takes you for a dive into the universe of your own feelings.
BALANCE
ANATOMY OF DESIGN
Celebrating the fusion of excellence in comfort, sound quality, materials, and engineering. We create high-end headphones, so we obsess about sound and build quality. Every aspect counts. The engineering, choice of materials, the precision of craftsmanship, the reliability are all equally important. We also make parts easily replaceable. All of these to ensure that a feeling of trust will accompany your every interaction with a Meze headphone.
MAGIC + HERITAGE
TALES OF THE UNEXPECTED
Swimming upstream above the trends, sinking the roots in the Romanian creative heartbeat.
Growing up in Maramures, a scenic region from Romania, we were surrounded by ancient forests, myths and legends. Born into this heritage, inspired by it, we’ve made it part of our mission to preserve it and share its meaning and value with the entire world.
RESPECT
ANTIFRAGILITY OF CLASSICS
Exploring the planned resilience of meaningful objects through respectful emotional longevity.
We don’t follow trends and we design with long product life in mind. Our headphones embody the classical values of clarity, balance and harmony. This is not a trend and it’s not intended to last for just a season. These are classics. These are devices to fall in love with. We achieve this standard by combining high-end technology and style with quality materials and craftsmanship. To all this we add the most important ingredient: our passion.
ART
CREATION OF BEAUTY
Honouring the principles of true art: not to portray but to evoke.
Our Lead Designer and Founder, Antonio Meze was always passionate about art, about form and function, and even as a child he was always fascinated by his mother’s paintings. Her creativity and passion inspired him to follow the same path, driving him to approach art and engineering as a whole in the creation of headphones.
