Skip The Agency. Own The Story.

Where Briefs Become Culture.

TWO BRANDS. ONE PHILOSOPHY. Maison Backyards was founded in 2012 with one goal, to turn outdoor spaces into places where life actually happens. Patios, poolsides, gardens. Built to gather in.

Maison Huis

its sister brand established in 1992, brings that same warmth indoors, kitchen tools designed for joyful, everyday cooking. Inside or outside, the feeling is the same: this is where home feels most like home.

THE BRIEF

It started over dinner.

When We First Met Mr. Lougang — The CEO — We Knew Immediately He Was Different.

‍

A genuine leader. A warm human being. He invited our entire team to his home for dinner, and over the table he said something that stayed with us:"Why don't we feel the same warmth today that we used to feel in the '90s?"

‍

hat question became this contest.We didn't ask filmmakers to make ads. We asked them to gather someone who mattered — a childhood friend, an old neighbor, a grandparent — and capture what that reunion actually feels like. The product was just the reason to meet. The story was always human.
