Well-Distance-Being
Wearable rattan cages for social distancing awareness
Research and design platform Livable has created a rattan frame that is worn over the head and body to increase awareness of the need for social distancing during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Designed in response to the coronavirus outbreak, the Well-Distance-Being highlights the need for members of the public to keep their distance from each other in order to slow the spread of the virus.
The hourglass-shaped product takes a form similar to crinolines – the stiffened petticoats worn underneath garments in the Victorian era. The cages rest on the user's shoulders, with one section facing upside-down to shield the neck and head and another facing downwards to cover the body.
Created for the United Nations' Global Call Out to Creatives initiative, the Well-Distance-Being project aims to communicate a critical public health message about Covid-19 in a creative and understandable way.
