Humuz

Who We Are?

Our Vision

To empower anyone to refresh and re-style one’s own space with a living decor of mini-garden.

Our Name

HUMUZ is inspired by the Latin word “humus” which means fertile ground. Humility comes from this Latin word Humus. Intrigued by the connections between the two words humus and humility, Brian, founder of HUMUZ then researched into the two and discovered an interpretation which explains the interconnection so well by Archbishop Anthony Bloom¹.

Humus refers to the situation of the earth. Despite deteriorating circumstances, our earth silently accepts what we do to it, receives everything we do not need. Yet, the earth miraculously transforms the discarded into a power of life and creates new possibilities.
Opening to sunshine and to rain, it nurtures every seed we sow and is capable of bringing thirtyfold, sixtyfold, a hundredfold out of every seed. In planting, humus is the organic matter which can help retain water and nutrients, for healthy growth of plants. Humus is a source of power which we often take it for granted. The more Brian learns about the way humus works, the more he aspires to nurture his company with this core value.

Our Story

While visiting a gardening shop, Brian overheard an old man mumbled to the shopkeeper that his plant bought from the shop was not growing nicely. The shopkeeper raised her voice and said “the plant is not just a home ornament, it is life! One has to prune the weaker parts to stimulate growth.”

Brian stood still for seconds. His mind was flashed with three concepts: planting, lighting and home décor. Plant is life and light bring life, can a “living” home décor brings more joy, beauty and positive impact to our life? Brian has spent more than 10 years in architectural LED lighting business with the purpose of improving people’s quality of life. Many people want to enliven their own space with nice décor or healthy plants and yet they do not have the patience nor skills to do it. This prompts Brian to research into whether this is a problem worth solving.
