Japanese designer Tokujin Yoshioka, who designed the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic torch, has designed ‘Easy-to-make FACE SHIELD’ and published the template on the Internet for free.
Yoshioka said, “I've heard a shortage of medical equipment for protection from my friend working as a doctor. I started to think about easy to make face protector with commonly available materials. Then, I designed a simple face shield made with a clear sheet of plastic and glasses.
This is not the product that aimed to show our creativity. It's based on the idea that just supports people fighting against the pandemic as a designer. Also, we uploaded the instruction video because we wanted to make it available for various language users.”
TOKUJIN YOSHIOKA DESIGN is planning to donate 50,000 shields to medical institutions by themselves.
Message from Tokujin Yoshioka:
I am grateful to the brave and dedicated healthcare workers for fighting the contagious disease.
I’d like to share my quick and simple face shield idea for emergency situation with shortage of medical supplies. It only takes 3 steps to create this face shield; put the template on top of a clear plastic sheet, cut them along the guideline, and attach it to your glasses.
I hope this can be of any help to you.
