Virus-eliminating Mask
The Mask That Ate The Virus

Virus-eliminating Mask for Birger Linke Design

Swiss biotech company Livinguard developed a textile for reusable masks that inactivates and eliminates bacteria, fungi, and viruses (incl. Covid 19) upon impact. This idea is brought to life in the packaging: The mask comes in a sterile package. An attached plastic strip animates – when slid up and down – a graphic depiction of a virus that is getting eaten in the process, adding some urgently needed humor in desperate days. To avoid the mix up of masks among family members, and hence cross-contamination, differently colored adjustment clips come in a separate sleeve to customize each mask.

Tags

Mask, virus-eliminating, Covid 19, Coronavirus, Livinguard

Production Technology

Livinguard treated textile, styrofoam, EVA

Design Challenge

Finding the right materials and printing technology that would allow for a highly accurate production needed for the animation to work.

Project Duration

The product was launched in May 2020. Up to date 5 Million masks were produced. Market: China/Worldwide

Operation Flow

The task was to communicate a new, unique product advantage to the consumer via the packaging: that a simple textile can provide protection, every single day.

Research

To bring the virus-eliminating process to life in the packaging, we made use of a century old technique: Moiré Animation – creating an optical illusion of animated frames, with the graphic depiction of a virus getting 'eaten' in the process.

Inspiration

Swiss biotech company Livinguard developed a textile for reusable masks that inactivates bacteria, fungi, and viruses (incl. Covid 19) upon impact. The product idea is brought to life in the packaging: The mask comes in a sterile package. An attached plastic strip animates – when slid up and down – a virus that is getting eaten in the process, adding some urgently needed humor in desperate days.
