The COVID-19 pandemic has laid bare our inability to locally produce health supplies such as masks, gloves, disinfectants and, more generally, personal protective equipment. Personal protection, however, has an immediate impact on our collective effort to contain the spread of this particular virus – and of those that are likely to follow. Dionysios Antypas DioAnDesign – One Design at a Time was born and raised in Athens, Greece. He has a degree in engineering. He has been living and working in Heidelberg, Germany for the past 7 years.
Keen on answering the question posed by the crisis and helped by his imagination, 3D design software, a 3D printer for home use and a glass of red wine, he brought to life a simple tool that will minimise the need to touch surfaces on a daily basis.
