Revolutionizing Sun Protection: The FENG Awning by MARIO MAZZER STUDIO

Combining Innovation and Sustainability in Modern Architectural Design

The inspiration behind FENG is a blend of lean design, modern architectural needs, environmental sustainability, and innovation in the production process. The result is a sun awning that not only provides shade but also enhances the aesthetic appeal of any architectural context. The FENG awning is equipped with LED lighting systems, making it a design object in its own right.

What sets FENG apart from other sun awnings is its unique rounded shape and the absence of visible screws. The awning can extend up to a maximum width of 14 metres with a 3.65-meter projection. The design has been patented and comes with a 5-year guarantee, a testament to the quality assurance of Shadelab, the brand behind MARIO MAZZER STUDIO.

The FENG awning is made from three different types of extruded aluminum alloy and high-quality plastic compound, all of which are 100% recyclable. The stainless steel screws are completely hidden, further enhancing the sleek design. The awning is part of Shadelab's Helmet cassette program, which is known for its elegant and functional designs. The total closing of the cassette ensures the fabric is fully protected from atmospheric elements, ensuring longevity and reducing maintenance needs.

The design process for FENG began in Motta di Livenza, Italy in June 2017 and was completed in January 2018. The project was then showcased at the R-T worldwide fair in Stuttgart. The design team, led by Mario Mazzer and Carlo Pollio, faced the challenge of integrating design needs with technical constraints while preserving the original design concept. The result is a product that meets the needs of private users, dealers, and assemblers alike.

FENG is not just a sun awning; it's a testament to the power of design, innovation, and sustainability. It's a product that pushes the boundaries of what's possible in the world of sun awnings. And it's a product that has been recognized for its excellence, winning the Silver A' Building Materials and Construction Components Design Award in 2018.
