Mast 3.0

All Mast 3.0’s products have been tested repeatedly for resistance to extreme loads. To ensure safety even further, Kevlar reinforcements have been added to the most critical points, in case the product is used inappropriately. With constant particular attention to safety, all carbon fiber furniture by Mast 3.0 is fire-resistant thanks to the use of aeronautical resins with low harmful gas emissions.

Mast 3.0

The name MAST originated in April 2010.

It recalls the English word “must” evoking something one cannot do without.

It furthermore recalls the mast of a sailing boat, with all its strong links to the world of boating.

3.0 is also part of the name, applying the language of the web to something different: the assumption is that if wooden furniture represents generation 1.0 and plastic materials can be classified in generation 2.0, 3.0 stands for the future. We strongly believe that carbon fiber is the future of the furniture industry.

Together with the name, the logo was created: 3 stylized boat masts, framed with a 0, which are at the same time the columns of the letter “M”, the first letter of MAST.

Mast 3.0

Composite materials are the plastic version of reinforced concrete, where resin stands for concrete and carbon fiber stands for iron rods.

Composite materials, which were initially developed for use in the aerospace field thanks to their performances and lightness, are nowadays used in numerous other fields. They are particularly adaptable, making them extremely valued by architects and designers, who are free to express themselves by creating innovative forms and structures which would be impossible to make with traditional materials. The world of high-performance composite materials is however strictly linked with craftsmanship: every single piece is made by hand with the help of equipment and tools to enhance quality, cut down on time, improve and guarantee the replication of the product. They therefore guarantee an extremely high level of quality and match perfectly with the essence of the well known “made in Italy” ideals. Advanced technology combined with the warranty of top quality craftsmanship. (Featured: Manta armchairs, designed by Robby Cantarutti, in New York).
