Seamless design, ECLISSE steps outdoors
ECLISSE introduces Syntesis Areo Outdoor, extending the sleekness of its flush-to-wall system to exterior applications. Robust and adaptable, it reimagines technical access points as integrated design features, ensuring a continuous aesthetic flow between interior and exterior spaces.
Zhijun Wang kept his word. In mid-March, the Chinese artist – who uses sneakers to make antismog masks, part of the MoMA collection in New York – told Domus about his latest project: a mask made from a Esselunga supermarket shopping bag to draw attention to the need to protect himself from the Coronavirus. He also told us that he was working on “a tutorial to allow anyone to make a mask for themselves when they are not in the shop or pharmacy.”
“But I want to think about it carefully so that people don’t get hurt,” he added. After a month of work, with the collaboration of his wife Yutong Duan, he sent us the model (to be downloaded and printed in A3) and the tutorial video that explains how to sew a mask, with an internal filter pocket, using splash resistant and breathable materials, such as non-woven fabric.
In addition to wearing the mask, you have to “maintain social distance, wash your hands and support the front line,” he concludes. “I hope with this tutorial I can help people through this difficult time.” The masks are not intended as medical devices, but simply personal protective equipment.
