When it comes to contemporary heating, few stoves make a statement quite like the Wanders Mata. With its unique oval shape, three-sided glass, and striking floating design, this stove transforms a functional fireplace into an architectural feature. More than just a futuristic-looking appliance, the Mata combines cutting-edge style with robust performance, making it an ideal centrepiece for modern homes.
While the Wanders Mata looks futuristic, its construction is firmly rooted in durability. Crafted from high-quality cast iron, the stove offers exceptional heat retention. Even after the fire has burned down, the cast iron body continues radiating warmth, keeping your living space cosy for longer. It’s a material choice that not only enhances performance but also ensures the stove will stand the test of time.
The dimensions of the Mata make it versatile without sacrificing presence. At 86.4 cm wide, 57.4 cm high, and 45.8 cm deep, it fits neatly into most living rooms while still commanding attention as a design statement.

The first thing you notice about the Wanders Mata is its bold design. Wall-mounted as standard, it appears to float effortlessly above the floor, creating an airy and spacious feel. This wall mounted installation not only saves floor space but also makes the fire itself the star of the room. For those who prefer a different setup, Wanders offers three alternative installation options: a sleek pedestal foot for minimalist styling, a curved designer stand for maximum visual impact, or a stove bench that adds practical versatility.
But it’s the flame picture that steals the show. With three large glass panels, the Wanders Mata provides an uninterrupted panoramic view of the fire. Whether you’re sitting opposite or off to the side, you’ll always have a clear, mesmerising view of the dancing flames. Thanks to the integrated airwash system, the glass stays cleaner for longer, so the spectacle is never spoiled.

Looks aren’t everything — and the Wanders Mata backs up its futuristic design with impressive performance. With a nominal output of 7.7 kW and an efficiency rating of 76%, it’s perfectly suited for medium to large spaces. An external air supply option also makes it a smart choice for well-insulated modern homes, ensuring efficient combustion without drawing in draughts.
Another standout feature is the built-in catalyst in the flue. This innovative system enhances combustion, reducing emissions and helping the Mata meet strict European eco-standards. It means you can enjoy a real wood fire with the reassurance of a cleaner, more environmentally friendly burn.
Using the Wanders Mata is as simple as it is stylish. Lighting is best achieved with the top-down method: larger logs at the base, kindling and firelighters on top. Once ignited, the fire quickly establishes a steady flame picture. The intuitive controls allow you to adjust airflow for maximum efficiency, while the airwash keeps the glass panels clear.
For best results, always burn with the stove door closed. This not only improves efficiency — up to tenfold compared to an open door — but also ensures safety and prevents sparks from escaping. With the right technique and well-seasoned logs, the Mata delivers a consistently clean and efficient burn.
The Wanders Mata is more than just another woodburner — it’s a statement of futuristic design paired with practical performance. From its floating installation and panoramic flame view to its eco-friendly catalyst and robust cast iron build, every detail has been crafted with both style and substance in mind.
If you’re searching for a stove that doesn’t just heat your home but transforms it, the Wanders Mata should be high on your shortlist. It’s proof that a fireplace can be as much about design and atmosphere as it is about warmth.
