With this pandemic, the world we know has changed in a month. Adapting to this new way of living not only forced us to change some of our core habits, but also made us include many ‘new’ products into our daily life. While some hope to go back to the “normal life”, our new normal after #Covid19 might never allow us to go back.
Gādo is a mask design that combines a mask and a face shield in a practical way. Looking for a solution where the masks are a part of daily life, the concept aims to ease human interaction by keeping the mouth visible.
Meaning ‘guard’ in Japanese, Gādo [ガード] brings an adaptable solution with its simple mechanism that allows the shield sliding up to protect the eyes. Combining this solution with a folded textile structure hidden under the shield which enlarges when the shield is slid up, Gādo brings the word definition into life.
As the concept maximizes the protection with head straps that helps the mask sits comfortably and securely, Gādo also turns the mask into a fashion accessory, so that the mask could easily blend in the daily life and becomes a personal statement.
