As a follow up to the Icelandic design festival DesignMarch, which was held in Reykjavik in mid-March, we’re showing off some parchment gas masks by Reykjavik designer Sruli Recht. Called Masked – In Flight, the masks are made of folded parchment and contain respirators with replaceable filters. They form part of the Non-Product series of objects from Recht’s fashion studio. The designer describes the set of four laser cut masks as follows:
Mask A: Functional air-purifying grill format respirator with replaceable-cartridge white N95 filters.
Mask B: Functional full face piece combination twin air-purifying respirators with replaceable-cartridge white N95 filters, light filtering sleep mask, and sound reduction ear covers. Secondary inner eye piece prevents pressure on eyes.
Mask C: Functional full face piece combination single grill air-purifying respirator with replaceable-cartridge white N95 filters and light filtering sleep mask.
Mask D: Functional full face piece combination single grill air-purifying respirator with replaceable-cartridge white N95 filters and light filtering sleep mask. Faceted hinged eye mask lifts for viewing and nasal rest prevents pressure on eyes.
