Fast, established in 1995 on the outskirts of Brescia where its offices and the entire production line are currently situated, is among the Italian leaders in the outdoor furniture industry. The key material in Fast collections is aluminium, which not only is an eco-friendly metal thanks to its low toxicity level and high recyclability, but it is also light-weight, durable, weather resistant and most of all easy-maintenance, and hence particularly suited to outdoor environments. The Fast catalogue comprises collections devised for application in both residential and contract settings, some of which are distinguished by soft, traditional silhouettes, and others by striking yet simple and innovative forms. Among these, one of Fast's best-selling products is the Forest armchair, for which the company is renowned on the international design scene. www.fastspa.com
