The company history starts in the 1960s when Stefano Levrangi, an expert in non-ferrous metal casting, started his own foundry in Vestone, in the Vallesabbia region near Brescia, already well known for its productive activities. The creative craftsmanship of brass implies high-precision and in depth-knowledge of the material and production processes. The know-how acquired by its founder, rapidly turned Fast into a leading company in this sector. At the end of the 1980s the family business was floated on the stock market and became a joint-stock company (S.p.A.). New, privately-owned premises were built to cater for increased production requirements. The Garden project has developed over the last few years, specializing in the production of outdoor aluminium furniture. Stefano Levrangi strongly believes in the qualities of this metal: it is light, strong and doesn't rust. The first collection, called “Narcisi”, remains true to traditional Italian craftsmanship. The following, highly refined collections include Althea and Armonia. When his son Marco joined the company, his contribution prompted the development of a more modern line. Classic and Avant-garde ranges were launched side-by-side and were instantly well-received by customers. The Fast S.p.A trade mark is well on its way to becoming a trend-setting brand in the world of indoor and outdoor aluminium furniture. In and Out are emblematic of in-depth aesthetic research, careful choice of materials and creativity, all rigorously “made in Italy” and developed by experts in the field and well-known designers. The newly built 12.000 sq.m. premises in Via Gargna, have provided an ideal location for manufacturing equipment, offices for the technical and commercial staff as well as a large show-room for customers. An up-dated website, a press office in Milan, a graphics studio for handling the various aspects of corporate identity as well as an advertising campaign in specialized publications are further proof that Fast S.p.A has a valid strategic approach and a prime position on the market.
Collection FOREST
A design of great visual impact, that offers unquestionable sophistication and individuality without compromising in comfort. Forest is a small, but important collection of armchairs taking its inspiration from the forms of nature. With legs, swivelling or on wheels, it is an object well-suited to interior contexts, for offices and the outdoors.
Collection TWIN
Design Robby e Francesca Cantarutti A chair designed for outdoor areas and for interior design. Versatility, function and beauty, underscored by a strong, bold, graphic line: these are the distinctive features of the Twin design. The result of its important, and essential, synthesis of production line and production technology is a top quality item. And Fast also guarantees that it will withstand the test of time. The form is simple, with the unit consisting of two identical halves that are connected asymmetrically, thus giving it its name. The result: a line that at first sight does not immediately reveal the design repetition, but still becomes the distinguishing feature. Even the design of the holes is intentional.
