Develops hygiene-furniture to battle Covid-19

Covid-19 has created a new everyday life with the risk of illness at close hand. An uncertain situation that demands an increased focus on, not just hygeine, but also safety - especially for our children. In collabroation with Stærmose Industry, our design unit, AART Designers, have developed a prototype for a new hygeine-furniture with this in mind. With this design, we have created a user friendly piece in children's reach, where water, soap, sanitizer, paper, and rubbish is shielded and clad in rounded shapes and colours, so that the furniture can be easily integrated in existing child environments. The aim is to dedramatize Covid-19 by making hygeine a safe and integrated part of school and daycare life. At the same time, the lack of sharp corners creates safety for the youngest, while the rounded shapes and hidden connections facilitates cleaning and raises hygeine. The prototype will be tested by a school and we are looking forward to receiving feedback from children, teachers, and parents.
