I'm Charlotte

Mother in chief of Mezamé, my fourth baby!

The Mezamé story really began in 2014 with the birth of our eldest son Léon, who was born premature.

For his arrival, family friends gave us one of those activity mats that were everywhere at the time — loud, with built-in flashing lights. I was touched by the gesture, but I very quickly found it way too stimulating, not exactly pretty, and bulky — yet somehow still too small for his first moves and our family moments together.

The seed of an alternative to classic play & activity mats had been planted 💡

A little Oscar later, and after 10 years working in media, I took the plunge into entrepreneurship — equal parts excited and terrified — bringing together my love of the world of childhood and interiors, with the desire to build something that truly serves family life!

A year of work, scribbled notebooks, fascinating encounters, plenty of hesitation, and sleepless nights imagining the ideal mat to fit into the everyday lives of modern families: the life mat!

And that's how Mezamé came to life at the end of August 2019, with pre-orders and an 8-week lead time back then 😅

The first nine months were spent up in our attic, packing every order together as a family. And after finding ourselves locked down with 300 mats in the living room 😂, it was time in June 2020 to take the next step — handing our entire logistics over to one of our main production workshops on the outskirts of Lille 🚀
