Umasqu Shares How Their Modern Mask Collection Is Made
Tel-Aviv-based Umasqu takes us behind the scenes to see how one of their deconstructed masks is made.

Since then, the wall decor brand, led by designer Tzachi Nevo, has kept our curiosity piqued with their modern masks. They give traditional wall masks a twist by deconstructing and then reassembling images of human faces and animal heads in geometrical shapes and playful colors. For this month’s Deconstruction, Umasqu takes us behind the scenes to see how one of their masks is made.

Cut ? The laser cut in process. All masks are made from a combination of different materials such as Veneer, MDF, Formica, Perspex, and Plastic, and are cut in the machine.
Cut is done ? Removing the first layer of the mask from the machine.

Parts waiting to be assemble ? After painting, all parts are sorted and wait for their turn in the assembling process.

Assembling ? Each mask is then hand assembled.
Glue ? All parts are glued with the best glue to guarantee its strength and to avoid any marks on th...
